A long W M i A e Kowo More Santa Clans Money To Lend Foreigners Further extension of the Santa Clans policy toward the rest of the world, is now in the offing. It is reported from Washington that President Truman in the very near fnture intends to ask congress for an additional one'and a quarter billion dollors to add to the lend, iog power of. tbe Export-Import Bank. The boost in the amount of money which Uncle Sam is expect ed to lend abroad is said to have become essential when a decision was made to lend the French gov eminent the tidy sum of $6 5 0 ,000,- 0 0 0. Then, of course loans are planned to Rnssia, China and other countries of Europe and Asia. Tbe only bright spot in the pic tore from tbe standpoint of the A- merican taxpayer is that Unde Sam-has decided, for the time being at least, to cancel tbe $90,00 0 ,000 loan which was extended recently to tbe Communist government at Warsaw. Ever since this Red Po lish government was set up every level-headed observer has recogniz ed the fact that it is a mere pup pet affair > with its strings being pulled at Moscow; Tbe Red Polish government has sought to liquidate the Poles who have not agreed to accept Communism and has been especially ro.igh on the members of the exile Polish government, which held forth in London all through out tbe ,war with recognition by the United States and Great Brl- tian. The government has suc ceeded in putting off the free elec tionsw hich.lt promised, and has shown no effect toward adopting a free and unfettered trade policy as it had promised to do when the loan was authorized. AU of which .has led the cancel lation of the loans, and quite pro perly so. The advocates of lavish loans’to Europe and Asia—which few people ever expect will be re paid—say such laws are not. a gift on the part of Unde Sam but that we will recover them through free and unfettered international trade. Of course this is a lot hooey so far as most modern governments are are concecned— and it doesn’t mean necessarily that they will adont high tariffs. Rnssia and Poland for. ex ample, are totalitarian states and never will permit free and unfetted trade, either domestic or interna tional. I f is silly to. think they will embark on a free democratic inter national trade program because we lend them' money. Even Great Britain is open Ito [suspicion. The Labor goverument is busy taking over Britishjiudustries as rapidly as possibly,. which means' that even tually British trade will be handled, not by the former competing British producers, but by the bureaucratic government at London.—Union Re publican.

A Jadge Mired In Politics Listed among tbe benefactors of the campaign of Congressman John H. Folger of the Fifth District to succeed himself was the name of ‘‘Mr. and Mrs. A, H . Gwyn,” of Reidsville. This would be, we take it, judge and Mrs. Allen H. Gwyn, the for mer just renominated- to succeed himself on the Superior Court bench of North Carolina. Reports are that, in addition to having made this contribution 'to the Folger.machine in the Fifsb District, Judge and Mrs. Gwvn are out on the hustings, actively and feverishly whooping-it np for their man in tbe second primary cam paign between MrV Folger and Thurmond Chatham, of Elkin. If so, isn’t this a rather unusual and uncomely kind of partisan .ac tivity in which a Superior Court Jndge of the state should indulge? Can Judge Gwyn cite precedents in which ot'ner judges of our state courts have deserted the dignity which becomes them in .order to take an active and energetic baud In a bitter contest within his own partv? That Judge Gwyn should prefer to vote to r Congressman Folgcr in stead of Mr. Chatham is a matter of nobodv’s business except his own That be is a judge is no reason that be should be expected to renounce bis right to vote for whatever candidete be pleases The only question arising in this connection has to do with tbe pro priety of a Judge o f tbe Superior Court of Noath Carolina stooping down to engage perfdually in 3 po litical brawl being staged by fac tions within his own. party, if ru mors of his activities are founded upon fact. . We have a proper habit in North CaroIina ofYespeCting the jurists of our state. For the most part, thts-habit has been fixed within us by the high: level of conduct and integrity-of tbe judges who have graced the State bencli.

Tbeiudependenceof tbe judici ary of the State, its capacity to mete out even-handed justice for .all classes and conditions of peo ple, irrespective of their politics, creed, color, or race, or anything else, must be maintained among all of our people if the due process; es of the courts and of the laws are to be observed and executed. Whatever JudgeGwyn may think and feel that he owes to his friend and the political machine of that friend, he should be aware that be owes much more-to his high office and to the people of North Caro lina whom he has’ sworn to deal justly by in the exeroise of bis ju. dicial duties.—Cbarldtte Observer.

Party bigwigs have 'commuted! between the W hite House and Cam itol Hill in recent davs to convince President Truman that the EemO crats will lose both houses 6f Con gress unless be can .demise some strategy to win back the labor vote by next November, It was not news to the White House that the party faces the threat of a lower chamber dominat' ed by tbe GOP after the ballots are counted next fall. The tninor- ity'need gain only 26 seats for con trol of that body. W hat did unnerve President Tru man and National Chairman Rob ert E. Hannegan, who are familiar with local conditions and sentiment in tbe disaffected areas, was to learn from experts on politics in western states that several progres. sive commonwealth's may easily fall into the enemy column unless be finds some wav to appease the rank and file of workingmen. Save for a few spots, the vast stretch between tbe Mississippi riv- er and the Pacific eoast is not gen erally regarded as an indnstralized section It is certain from their discussion ot 1946 and 2948 politi cal possibilities that Messrs T m . man and Hannegan do not view it in that light—or did not until re cently. Bnt many of these states have fairly large quotas of railroad wor kers, factory employees and min ers. The construction of nnmer ous small plants during tbe war IFcreased the number of people with union sympatbtet. Tbe influ. euce of these' groups is large be cause of tbe comporatively small total vote In Wyoming, Montana, Utah, New Mexico and Washing ton, The Senate oan be tipped over if the opposition captures only eight chairs, now. occupied by Democrats. Until lately Na ional Chairman Hannegan bad conceded a ,GOP maximum increase of only five, in. eluding losses in the East and the West. That outcome would leave the Democrats in'fairly good shape. Buf the bearers ot bad news, who include such veterans as Senators Joseph C. O’ Mahoney, of Wyom ing, and Burton K.. Wheeler, of Montana, report that eight seats in the Middle and Far West alone are in jeopardy. . - . Despite their liberal records and their demonstrated'popularity baek home, they fear that they may. be among the victims. They bad hop. ed that Mr. Truman would scrap his drastic proposal for breaking the railroad strike at tbe last min ute. Besides the possible loss of their own senstorships, the two western ers warned the White House, that an anti-labor program would en danger tbe occupants, of five other Democratic places.: The men who may have difficulty in surviving a labor revolt are: Senators Frank P.

Matter of Proper Sharing ^Herbert Hoover’s report th at Latin Atnerican countries have a greed to make available 8 0 0 ,000 extra tons of cereals and beans tor war food relief brings a more en. couraging tint to the world food picture. There is reason to believe tbet the^ world’s famine sufferers can be adequately supplied with food pro ducing countries will co-operate fully in making their surpluses a- vailable for use in this cause. The United States is a great food- producting nation, but owing to tbe vast amount of foodstuffs re quired for 140,0 0 0 ,000 Americans with their high standard of living Which b difficult to lower appreci ably, owing to long-establbhed eat ing habits, our actual available grain and other surplus food stock is not as large as one might imagine. This seems to have been demon strated in the food emergency ere. ed by our efforts to meet American relief quotas for Emope th b Spring. Russia, Canada, Argentina, France and various other grain producing nations, doubtless can do a bit more than they have done tbits far in helping supply wheat for war relief purposes. If all count! ies which have grains and other, needed foods cut their own consumption to the basic minimum, the situation, as Indicated by Mr. Hoover^ will be considerably im proved. 'That many of these coun tries are awaking to tbe need and are showing a willingness to co operate is disclosed in Mr. Hoov ers announcement that total food shipments from Latin America a. merica alone will aggregate 2 ,izo,- 0 0 0 tons, and that President Per. on, of Argentina, one of the great est wheat.prodkcing countries of the' world, “has signaled his co operation by a decree creating strong emergency measures t 0 speed up exports to tbe utmost dur ing the crisis ” This, however, does not signify that there can be any let-up or re taxation of effort in the United States in behalf of this hum anitar. ian cause. It will reqqjre all the food conservation and contributions we can make in addition to the best efforts of other food producing countries to prevent actual famine and starvation in the war-devastat ed countries abroad, Winston-Sa lem Journal.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Ith! E 'se n a t e m on stro sity : WASHINGTON. — Seldom has a senate committee been so loath to put its name to a piece of legisla- jtion as the senate banking and cur rency committee which finished {Sabotaging the price control ~ bill ecently. About all that was left of e bill was its name. When it came to signing it. New Ork4S Senator Wagner, chairman if the banking and currency com mittee, flatly refused. He pointed lout, in a closed-door session; that jhe had opposed the emasculating !amendments and would submit his own minority report. Senator Taft, who did more than almost anyone to tear the bill to pieces, also hesitated. He said he had his own bill which he wanted, to introduce. Finally someone proposed that the senators’ names be-signed in a cir cle, so the public could not tell who signed first. “It-reminds me,” said Ken tucky’s Alben Barkley, "of the young man who shot his mother and father, then appealed to the court for leniency on the grounds that he was an or phan.” NOTE—Finally, Senator Barkley ,agreed to report the gutted OPA ibSl to the senate, but accompanied [by a stinging criticism of the way ;the OPA had been virtually de stroyed.* • * PATIENT LAUNDRY LEW Secretary of Labor “Laundry ■Lew” Schwellenbach is a patient ;man. He learned the virtue of pa-. Yience as a Spokane laundryman 'when he had to handle customers’ !complaints about frayed collars and !lost shirts. Patient as he is, Lew has had a tough time with his boss ‘ in the White House during the mari time strike negotiations. Shortly after the talks began, SehwelIenbach called on the onions, the shipping people, and government officials to say nothing which wonld arouse feelings and imperil the negotia tions. The very next morning, however, Lew’s boss in the White Hoose did exactly the opposite by announcing plans to use the navy to break the strike. This, of course, put the ship owners in a favored position. They were no longer wider any compulsion to settle before the strike deadline. When patient Lanndry Lew heard this, even he hit the ceiling. Then the navy announced, with White House backing, that it was calling on its reserves and volun teers to break the strike. Again this ,played into the skip owners’ hands; . again the secretary of labor was upset. Finally, he sent Assistant See. of Labor John Gibson to the White House with a personal appeal to the President to refrain from prejudic-' ing the negotiations. Truman agreed,, issued a statement saying the gov ernment hoped for settlement, did not want to be put in the position' of breaking the strike.• * * . CABINET CONFIRMATIONS American history shows that Presidents of the United States have had more difficulty with senate con firmation of the secretary of the treasury than any other cabinet post. In all, 10 different votes have been cast by the senate defeat ing confirmation of cabinet mem bers. The first of these was Andrew Jackson’s fight to appoint Roger B. Taney as secretary of the treasury. Jackson was defeated. Second senate battle was Presir dent Tyler’s attempt to appoint Caleb Cushing, as secretary of the treasury. Tyley forced three differ ent votes -in Uie senate to confirm Cushing, but lost each time by large ‘majorities. Tyler also had trouble appointing David Henshaw as sec retary of the navy, and James M. Porter as secretary,of war, The next senate fight over cabi net' confirmation occurred in the ad ministration of Andrew Johnson, when he attempted to appoint Henry Stanbery, as attorney gen eral, but was defeated. Calvin Coolidge also lost a fight ;to apppint Charles B. Warren as aV tomey general. The first Vote on Warren was the famous occasion when Vice Pres. Charley Dawes failed to be present. His excuse was that he was napping and his alarm clock failed to go'off. However, Coolidge, who never got along with Dawes, always suspected that bis vice president wanted to avoid .being put on the spot -by a tie vote, which he, as pre siding officer, would have had to break.» ,* * CAPITAL CHAFF Six-foot, eight-inch high govemor- . elect Jim Folsom of Alabama is. go ing to be a political force to be reckoned with.

We took up this somewhat twisted matter with: Bill D ickey, the Yankees’ new man ager. “This has been one of the strangest seasons I’ve ever run across,” the loose-joined "Ar k ansas Traveler” said. “Suppose, for exam ple, we had known back in Florida during our training season that the Yankees were going to get good pitching. That was supposed to be our weakest spot because so many of our men were troubled with bad arms. We would have been picked as one of the surest things of the year, rated well in front. “But suppose we had known that after six weeks of play our team batting would be around .240 with such fine hitters as Joe DiMaggio and most of the-others hitting be low .260. Then, we would have been picked far down the list. Hard hit ting has been the Yankees’ main factor in winning ball games, but as a team we haven’t been hitting a half lick.” . “You don’t think . this hitting weakness will last?” we asked. “I certainly don’t,” Bill said. "No pitchers are going to keep such bard hitters as DiMaggio, Keller— who has been our best—Stirnweiss, Etten, Lindell, Henrich, Gordon and the others bottled up much longer. Those fellows can hit. They are naturals. I happen to know that Joe DiMaggio was banking on this season being bis best year. I’ve never seen any.one work harder, or try harder or train harder. His fielding , and his home-run bitting have been exceptional. I don’t be lieve this slump in hitting can last. ■ “We may have more trouble with our' pitching, with so rnany really good pitchers bothered with bad arms OT backs, but we are due to get much better hitting—and we’ll have to get it if we are to win again. We can’t win the pennant the Wayi we’re going now.” Dickey and the Red Sox We asked Manager Dickey what he thought of the Red Sox and the chance the Yankees and other American League clubs had of clos ing the gap. “I’ll tell you exactly what I think of the Red Sox,” Bill said. “I never like to underestimate an opponent. In my opinion, they have a first- class manager in Joe Cronin, who failed in the past because the win ning material wasn’t there. Cronin isn’t going to lose any pennant for his club. Joe will do his share. “The Red Sox have the strongest team they ever have shown. They have a fine infield and a strong out field. They have had the hitting and the pitching—and I honestly think that ..so far they have out-hus tled the rest of u s.."In Pesky.aod Doerr, the Red Sox Ipive a great mid-infield combina- non, both on offense and defense. Pesky today is a greatly improved ballplayer. He means a lot to that club. Cronin certainly has a mnch stronger pitching staff than anyone looked for last March—Hnghson, Harris, Ferriss and Dobson are about' as good as any manager could ask for.“This doesn’t mean,” Dickey said with a grin, “that I am picking the Red Sox to win the pennant. I think we can catch them,. but I know we can’t wait too long. They are too good to be given any big lead, and I believe the Yankees are just be ginning to realize this. They have been strong on both-offense and de fense and they’ve fine spirit. "What about the rest of the league so far?” -c asked. ‘You can’t overlook Washington,” he said. “This is a good, steady, consistent club all along the line. You also will see Detroit get much better pitching than the Tigers have known thus far. Their pitching has been like the Yankees’ hitting—too far below normal to remain, that way. When their pitching gets as hot as it can get, and they begin to hit nearer their, stride, you’ll see a big change.” Dickey, who has the full support of Larry MacPhail, and who has enjoyed so many years of training under Joe McCarthy—the manager Bill ranks far above all others in baseball—is giving everything he has to the job of -making good. With a cool head and a stout heart with which to work, he doesn’t expect to pick up all the needed managerial details in a few days or in a few weeks. Bill has the complete affection and respect of his players, and it is my opinion that he will make few mis takes Iiu directing up to'the hilt the material he has at hand. Like other great eateher-managers—Bill Carrigan and Miekey Cochrane, for' example—he has been in the . best spot to know what is going on, espe cially In the direction of a pitching stall that still is uncertain. No one knows better than Larry MacPhail and Bill Dickay that the Yankees need one or two more* ball players to carry anything like an even chance to overtake Boston.

When Lanrenea arrives he Is In good spirits and announces th at Judge G raham Is going to retire within a year and w ants him Io IakavOVer. " I w ant yon to m an y m e, Meg.” She hesitated a long tim e. CHAPTER V - He was freshly shaven, immacu lately groomed—and, she told her-, self, almost a tittle surprised, he was downright handsome. He looked less than his forty-nine years, holding himself erectly, as though in an fcffort to disclaim Ilie threat of im pending overweight. “For a walk? At this time of night?” she protested, surprised. - “It’s seven o’clock, and there’ll b e' a moon,” her father told her almost curtly. Almost before she had finished there was the brisk ring of purpose ful footsteps on the old bricked Walk, and a moment later the outer door opened and Laurence came in, beaming as he saw her, greeting her eagerly. He shed his light top coat and hung it with his hat in its accustomed corner of the closet be neath the stairs. “That looks good." He greeted the open fire and stood before it, warming his hands. "It’s a bit nip py out tonight, and darker .than a pocket. I was glad of my pocket Sash before I got here.” “There is no moon?” asked Me gan in surprise. “Not yet,” answered Laurence. “Not before* nine, I should, say.” He stood, tall and boney, and a little stooped, as though his height had run away from his weight. His thick, dark hair was brushed neat ly back from an intelligent fore head. His eyes were brown and steady behind the hornrimmed eye glasses, his jaw was square and dogged, his mouth thin-lipped, rath er generous but pleasant. Suddenly he grinned at her, and said, “Well? Do you see anything different about me? Have I changed?" Megan’s eyebrows went up a tit tle. "No — has something hap pened?” ‘'Well, the old Judge called me in this afternoon; and told me that he plans to retire next year,” Lau rence told her. eagerly. '“The old fellow's getting on and he is pretty tired. But he wants me to take over, beginning now, so that in a year he can slip gracefully out vof the picture and I can carry on!” “That’s splendid, Larry—but no more than you deserve,” Megan told him swiftly and eagerly. He nodded, his eyes very steady and very serious behind his rimmed glasses. “Thanks, honey,” he an swered, and went on before she could take note of the endearment, “It affects you, too, of course. That is, I hope it does.” His smile was confident, assured. Obviously he was so sure of her that his qualification of the state ment had been merely a surface matter. “It's no secret to you, Meggie, that you’ve been my inspiration all these years, and you must have known all along that as soon as I got to the point where I felt sure I could, take care of you, I wanted you to marry me,” he went, on quietly. “I’ve got to that point now, so—will you, Meggie?” But for some queer reason, Me gan hesitated before answering. Hesitated so long, her eyes on the fire, her hand lax beneath his own, that Laurence looked at her in sud den sharp alarm and said quickly, "Hi, look here, lady—it’s polite to speak when you’re spoken to.” ‘Tm sorry, Larry.” She turned to him in quick, contrite apologyr “It’s just that—well, I scarcely know what to. say." Laurence was surprised . and a tittle dashed. But his hand closed more warmly over hers and he said with an effort at lightening the threatening tension, “Well, ’yes’ would be nice.” “I wish—it could be ‘yes’,” she admitted frankly. Laurence turned sharply, so that he was . sitting sideways.. on the lounge, facing her squarely. His thick, dark brows were drawn to gether in a puzzled frown and his eyes were apprehensive. ,.,VSee here, Meggie, what are you giving me? You’re not suddenly go ing all coy on me?” he demanded anxiously. “Of course, not." Sbe tried to laugh at the idea, but it was not a convincing laugh. “Of course, I didn’t do it with the proper butidrup,’’ tie admitted with a little crooked grin. “Maybe I should have dropped on one knee in front'of you,’ with one hand on my heart, tiie other outflung in a pleading gesture, and-said some thing like, ‘Miss MacTavish-Miss Megan—may I call you Meggie? Will you do me the honor to accept’ my undying devotion?” Shall I do Tt that way?” “Don’t be an Idiot!", Megan was grateful for the tightness and'tried to rise to i t “It’s only that—well, you have taken me a tittle by sur-. prise—" , "Oh, come, now, Meggie—not ‘this is so sudden,’ " he protested mockingly. “! .know—I do-sound like a fool," she'admitted quite honestly.’ ' The raillery was gone from his voice, and his eyes when he spoke again. ' His tone was quiet and steady, his, eyes gentle and warm. “‘You have known all along; Meg gie, that I love you. I thiiik it first started when we were kids.' Every man has somewhere in his mind or bis heart, or both, a picture of the ideal—and there’s never for a mo ment been anyone but you in that place for me. Everything I’ve done, every thought I’ve had for the future, has had you all woven into it and through it. It’s been pretty bad these last two or three years watching you struggle to hold on to things here and not being able to help you. But now—well, all that’s changed, Meggie. I’ve got an in-, come that is modest enough in all Laurenee turned sharply, so that- he was sitting sideways on the lounge, facing her-squarely. conscience, but itfcan take care of you, Meggie, and ; I promise it will be easier for you than it has been in the past. I’ll see to that! Sb—will you let me, Meggie? Because I love yob and because I can’t visu alize any kind of life without you.” There were tears in her eyes,'and her heart gave a warm throb as she . turned to him and said, “Yes, ,Larry—if you’re sure you want me.” Laurence said huskily, “As if I could ever be as. sure of anything else in my life!” He took her into his arms, awk wardly, as though she had been something so infinitely fragile and precious that the slightest careless touch might destroy her; yet there was a strength and an urgent ten derness in his touch that made her heart stir unaccustomedly. She loved his very awkwardness, loved the fact that when tie bent to kiss 'her, his lips touched her cheek be fore finding her tips. She was the one love Cf his life; his inexpert ness, his confusion,’ told tier that. And the fact that he had not had enough experience with other girls to be deft and smooth with, her en deared him to her. There were so many things to be considered, so many problems'to be settled. But tonight was no time for them. Tonight it was enough just to know one’s self deeply be loved; to know that she was first in Laurence’s thoughts, as she had been for a long, long time. When he left, with fifteen minutes tp catch his bus, she went slowly up the stairs to her own room and sat for a while in' the darkness, lit by the silver, square of autumn -moonlight that spilled through the window. She was ashamed of tier- self that she should feel, not the ex ultant, delicious happiness of a-girl newly engaged, but only a weariness that seemed to drug her limbs and to slow tier heart. She was still , awake when she heard her father come in, and, puzzled, she looked at the tittle clock on the. dressing table. A quarter, past twelve! An incredible time for him to come in from’ a mere walk, when he had left the house at seven. To add to the surprise of his com ing in so -late, she could not but mark i Qie caution . Witii which he mounted the stairs; the wariness with which he walked, heavily on tip-toe, past tier door : to his own room. Only by straining her ears could she hear his door, close. And then she- gave herself a mental shake and got: up to'; prepare tor tied. The explanation. of ■ her father’s late return was quite simple, after SB. He- had' been playtog^pinochle with some iofhia cronie8;rj)robably in,the back of the barbemhqp,, which,, she knew, was a favotite meeting place for some of the rather raffish citizens who- were his !particular friends. And with, that explanation, she crawled into .bad and finally fell asleep. , .-.j:. The news of Her ',engagement to Laurence was accepted’uritiiout any surprise whatever - in' Pleasant Grove. Mrs. Stuart summed up the attitude cf the town when she said, comfortably, “Well, it ain’t no sur prise to none of usi ’Course, we’re all mighty glad and we krfdw!you and Laurence.are goto’ to beJhuppy. He’s a. fine boy ahd you’re both lucky to get each other.” ' ■ ' Megan, doing the Saturday morn ing baking, with Annie’s assistance,' felt her cheeks warm as she mam aged the conventional reply. "You ati goto* to litre in MeaderSJi viile', I ’spose?” Mrs. StUartsWent on, accepting with relish, a slice of 1 the hot gingerbread Annie offered. Megan paused in her kneading of the smooth white dough that was going to be hot rolls when she had finished with it. “I suppose so,*’ she admitted al most reluctantly, “It wouldn’t be very sensible for Larry to try to go to and fro, on the bus. Itls too uncertain.” Mrs. Stuart nodded understand-' togly. "I reckin then you'll sell' the farm,” she contributed wisely. “Sell the- farm?” Megan repeat ed in astonishment. “We really haven’t had time to discuss that,” she admitted finally. "We aren’t going to be married until the spring, and that .will give us plenty of time—” "Well, now, I dunno," Mrs'. Stuart countered, ticking the last fragrant, spongy crumbs of the gingerbread from-her fingertips. ."Folks that's going.to farm a year always wants to get in ..and settled by January, or February at the latest. If you’re going to sell, you better let folks know' right away. Reckin you won’t have no trouble gettin’ a good price for the place, farmland bein’ higher than it ever has been before.” “I . suppose so,” Megan agreed. She was secretly, if unashamedly, glad when Mrs. Stuart took herself off. With the last of the baking to the stove, and Annie safely in charge, Megan stripped off her apron, went out of doors, and whipped to the dogs. Reaching the top M the hill, where the big fiat stone lay a t the foot iff the tallest, most majestic pine, she sat down and drew tip her knees, and encircled’them with her arms. The dogs rushed abdlut, delirious with joy. . Below her to the. left she. could see the roof and the ^backyard of the Westbrook' place. 'There was the remnant of an orchard on the slope back of the house; shrubbery that had never been pruned and so grew riotously tall, formed a sort of hedge along the front. The nearest neighbor to the Westbrook place was Stevens, which was 'around a band in the road and so out of sight of the shabby tittle old house. Behind her,. Megan knew the Ridge sloped into a valley that was threaded by the - small brook that watered her own meadow, and that widened out a little so that there were rich bottom lands borderihg it. It was a peaceful scene to the mild autumn morning. Here to this shel tered coastal country, winter played a mild hand; .there was hardly ever any ice, seldom a killing frost. Two crops, a year grew from the farms, and life was peaceful and placicU Or it had been, until Aliqia' Steven son came to live here. Megan jerked her thoughts a Way from the un-' pleasant riddle of Alicia Stevenson, because,she had something of far more importance,;■ to. herself at least, to think.about. VMrs. Stuart had token it (Cr grant ed that Megan would sell/the farm ,when she married; Laureijce.

Megen was unapolo- getic for the thoughts; she was not conscious of any disloyalty towards her father in holding such a thought. She whs simply facing' facts.

Jesus Christ is Qie believer’s final authority. iHe is both bur Saviour and . our Lord.' He is our teacher, our guide, our pattern to-all things. It is" Qierefore of the highest im portance that we know his attitude toward the .. Old Testament laws, mid. that is jurt what we are to cpnsider to the lessons of the next three months ' under the' general title, “Jesus Interprets' Old Testa ment Laws.”- ' Our introductory lesson tells us of the origin, interpretation and ap plication Of the law, then we go in latef. lessons to consider the Ten Comrnandrnents to . the light of the teachings, of Jesus. . Itiis appropriate to point out that, far from being outmoded, the Ten Commandments are really the basis.of all moral law. They need sr diligent restudy and re-emphasis ffi our day of disregard of moral Standards. I. The Law—Given by God (Deut 8:4-9). Qur God is the one true God who is to have the complete and con stant devotion of all.. The fact that so many men have ignored him explains the awfulxdepth to which the world has fallen. This one and .only true God has given through his Servant, Moses, the fundamental moral law for Qie government of man, and he is to give diligent attention to it at all times. Religion to the household (v. 7) should include the teaching of the Word, and the easy natural discus sion of spiritual things in. all the varying circumstances of home life. Blessed are the parents who make it easy for children to talk about the things of God as naturally and unaffectedly as they discuss the oth er Qhases of. life which interest them. The law of God should go with his people toto Qieir Qaily occupa tions (v. 6), not to any formal or stilted .way but as the normal ex pression) of their love for him. It should be evident to all who enter the home that the Lord is loved and honored (v. 9). n . The Law Fulfilled, by Jesus (Matt. 5:17-19). The law of God is eternal, never to be- abrogated, never set -aside. Christ himself; although we might properly say that he was to reality the lawgiver and thus had power and authority over the law, indicat ed his purpose in coming to be that of giving the'law its full meaning, not of destroying it. One could wish Qiat those who profess to be his servants might have the same measure of regard for God’s law. If they did, they obviously would not be so ready -to ignore it, so quick to change it or ready to accept with their Master every “jot and tittle"; that is, even the minutest detail of bis Word. It is'a mark of greatness “to do and teach” the law of God (v, .19), and of pathetic smallness to break his commandments and to teach others to disobey God. Soihe of the supposed great men of Qiis world are. mighty small when they are measured by God’s yardstick; The one who recognizes Christ as the fulfillment of the law will go on in , consistent living- In his strength and-1Qy his" grace we are to dbey every moral precept. . --r IIL 'lrhe Law-^-Applied' to Man Tlm morhl law, which is God’s ISvPj--IS g6^ ‘and ihrits'keepihg'man fip&£ guidance' for- Iitovlife.; - Apart fcom,Gffis j,..however, hfi, finds hhn-seli toable to’keep' the laiw.

There is a lot of difference between be ing nominated'and elected. When the Democrats were in power in Davie County The Re cord wasn’t supposed to get the county printing and didn’t get it. -When die Republicans were in power The Record was supposed to get the county printing, but didn’t. Wonderfiul world. The; JDavie jRecord. has been fighting the batdes for die Re* publican party for nearly 47 years without reward or hope of re ward. Our reasons for doing so is because we believe in the prin ciples Utid down and advocated by Abe Lincoln, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Of course Europe loved us jvhile _ we were furnishing her men* money and supplies without any hope of reward. If Europe is mad at us today it is because we have cut out the lend-lease and are de bating on whether or not to lend them an extra three and three- quarter billion dollars. Just how much has Great Britain paid us back of die money, ships and pro visions we loaned. them during- the first World War? So far asco to equal ed tobacco,, beginning with die 1947 crop, Fred S. Royster, presi dent of die Bright Belt Warehouse Association, urged all growers in the six flue-cured tbhacco States to go to the polls and vote accor ding to their own convictions. '■ “The referendum gives all grow ers affected die privilege to an equal vote regardless of whether he produces one-half acre or 100 acres,” Royster declared. “Every tobacco grower should make' thorough study of the favorable prices received for his crop since quotas haveHbeen in effect to keep production in line with die de mand.” Roystersaiddiat quotas have incaeased die tobacco growers’ in come from an approximate 112 million to 513 million dollars. He pointed out that in 1952, before marketing quotas were in effect, flue-cured tobacco sold for an av erage of only 11.6 cents per pound and when quotas were voted out in 1939, the price dropped from 22.2 cents for the previous yeartb 14.9 cents, The 1945 crop sold for an^averag* of 43.7 cents p£fr pound. Approval .of quotas will assure continuation of loans at 90 per cent of the parity price to protect growers Sn the event tobacco does not bring a higher price. ff_ quo tas are not approved, die Govern ment is not authorized to provide loans for the 1947 crop. As to the present supply and demand picture, die 1946 crop is expected to supply enough tobac- world consumption It Is Here Again Davie and some of the neigh boring counties have a good deal of whooping cough going around again. -It is said diat this disease, on a whole, causes more' deaths during the first two years of ' life than measles, diphtheria, polio- and scarlet fever com* section last Week.

I ■ I - !r* I Woman's World Make iSlip-Covers for Summer To Add Fresk Color Schjeme I . iiv- - & 'EPrlla EMaEeu Lj'VEN though you may not spend ■*-' as much of your time • indoors as you do outdoors, it’s sm art to make fresh slipcavers tor dining ■and living room furniture just to give the home a change of color and feeling. Slipcovers are expensive -to buy and more frequently Qian not you cannot find them in a color or pat tern to suit your furnishings, tf every woman knew how really sim ple Qiey are to make, I’m sure that every home would have a set of covers to put on for the warm months. U you are an inexperienced seam stress, better choose a plain fabric or- floral that does not need too much work when it comes to match ing the motif or having an up- and-down design. You’ll have to measure carefully each individual piece to make sura that you get enough fabric for covering. Here’s how it’s done: You’ll need twice as much in width as the chair measures, plus one-third extra for height, plus enough to go around each cushion. A slipper chair, for example, will, take three yards of 150-inch fabric, an overstuffed chair, Vh yards, a large arm chair with reversible cushions, 6 yards; a loyeseat will also take 6 yards, a large couch with reversible cushions, 9. Decide how much each piece requires and add % yard extra where the de sign must be matched. If you want to save on fabric, you may decide that the bottom of Qie cushions can be of a different, per-; haps less, expensive fabric. Or, the bottom of the cushions can be pan eled from pieces of the same ma terial because they will not show. Fit Chairs and Couches As Boxes or Bodies Since no patterns are available for all the different ,sizes of chairs and couches to be covered, you’ll have to fit them yourself. That’s easy, though, if you will just take a length of the material, pin it to the chair and make allowance for seams. When placing the fabric on J Select crisp, gay prints!. . • the chair, see that the grain of the fabric is straight' .(this can be marked with a chalk' -and ruler be fore placing the fabric on.the chair). Allowance for generbus seams is important in making slipcovers. You will remember that these are washed constanQy, and are pulled by use. The seams should be made strong to withstand this. - After the fabric is cut, it should be basted, pressed and sQtched. A good idea is to cut and baste, then press and try on before doing the machine stitching. U there are any spots that pull this matter can be corrected before the cover is ma chine-stitched. Dining Room Chairs : Easily Covered Always stitch perfecQy straight on slipcovers because that is the next most important after fitting. This, of course, will be easy if the slipcover has been basted prop erly. Use a medium-long machine For summer slip-covers.. stitch for best results and check the tension to be sure it is correct for the fabric. Allow for ease around the curved arm of the chair. In the dining room, the whole job will be one of covering only the seats of chairs, and perhaps the Smart Dinner Wear .BiaxiIp they* mail* S I R Y K C E A U EDITOR’S NOTEi TIris newspaper,through'special arrangement uith theIFashington Bureau of VestemNeaipaper.

Cut a top and bottom for the pad- out of- the fabric you want for the color scheme, place in position, binding or cording it. Attach ties for- this, and have these come around the two back legs to hold the cushion and cover in place. After you are certain the pleats fit as you want them, machine stitch. The final pressing is done while the pleats are pinned togeth er to make sure they will stay to gether properly; Use a damp press cloth and press only .moder ately hard. Remove Qie basting threads and then press again to remove any marks caused by these threads. - Most slipcover.materials ,do hot ravel easily, and if the seams are cut with pinking shears, they will not have to.be finished any further. If you want to lis'e S binding or cording.for trimming, baste:this in place and then stitch so that it .will, not show too much. For simple summer slipcovers,’ this ‘ binding is not used often, rifoough'it is per fectly proper if you desire it. Secret of Pressing'!, No garment can realty look professional until it is - carefully pressed.' In. sewing, ‘for instance, it’s a fundamental rule to press' all seams after, they, are,stitched, and definitely dp. , hefpre one seam is attached to' another. See that the board is well pad ded with cotton, flannel twj mus lin. If therp is ,any -lumpiness in the boird,- it will' show up on the garment when it is pressed. Al] pressing cloths should be free of‘sizing or dressing or lint, and should be washed frequent ly. A heavy muslin is best for wool while light-weight muslin is regarded, as best for other ma terial. - A sponge may be used for ap plying water to seams for open ing them. Flace a press doth over the material, sponge and press. . ■?. ! -Tailor’s cushions Shquld lf bp used to press the rounded.parts of the garment such aS pbdkets or seams that are curved. These- may -be purchased or made at home from two oval pieces of cloth, and filled with kapok or wadding. Before pressing, any 'fabric, test a piece of foe material to see. how much heat the fabric will take and then adjust the iron accordingly. Summer Fashion N a ts Redingotes are very sm art when you want to .appear strictly tailored and they give you a chance to wear foe so sm art print dresses and solid, bright colors. If you want to look cool and collected during foe summer, -avoid the use of too many frills, too much gingerbread. They seem to weigh down a dress and make it lose' its freshness quickly.

Warnings against inflation am be ginning to reach us country people with increasing force and frequen cy. Nearly all the experts who com ment on it say' we have inflation al ready but it can get much worse. Accurate definitions of inflation are rather complicated. In fact, some of the definitions are harder to un derstand than the condition itself, such as we all can see by looking around. Wlien just about everybody has spending money in. their pockets be cause they can’t find enough of the 'things they want to buy, that is where inflation begins. The results are quite natural. Automatically people start bidding against each other for what items they do find, and prices advance far beyond real values. Then, no matter what we buy, we are squandering money. Regulation Prices. - What we heed to cure inflation is plain to see: more things to buy. That’s all it takes. If I need a Imt and can find only one that fits.my head and suits my taste, the dealer can (unless restrained by law) charge me whatever he wishes. I may rebel at the price but some body else will pay it and the mer chant will not need to worry about me. What will set the matter straight? More hats! When hats are offered by every haberdasher in town, some compet itor is certain to lower his prices to increase sales. AnotheywiU try to outdo him, and this competition continues until falling prices get too near cost to go cheaper. It is that simple. Goods are the scare-orows that frighten away inflation. What ever interferes with the production of merchandise only makes inflation worse. Artifleial Feeding Inflation is like hunger. It Is a want that has the full force of a need. Hunger includes a craving that throws 'a person’s sense of values completely out ot plumb. Food is the only satisfactory answer to the hunger question and, just so. goods are the only sound solution to inflation. There are trick ways to hold prices down, when goods have to be scarce, but they are only tem porary help.Once in a while somebody has a strange ailment that makes eating impossible, or very dangerous. Physicians deny such a patient food while they try- to adjust the malady. Sometimes they use drugs to make the patient sleep and forget his crav ing; sometimes they flow energiz ing liquids into the blood-stream, but it is no diet Nobody can live on it; it only makes starvation slower. War Is a Malady During the' war, people in Amer ica were rightly denied goods; there were not enough workmen; not enough factories, not enough mar terials to supply the nation’s de fenders, o u t mep and their allies. Ooxuamet goods were scarce- and a lot of people had extra money. An prices would have skyrocketed but government restrained it by law. It was an emergency—drastic rem edy; no complaint Price controls did not contribute anything permanent, to. this coun try’s economic strength, however. They simply eased the shock for civilians who had to undergo eco nomic surgery or perish of dictatorship. Now the ordeal is over and the patient is wholesomely hun gry for merchandise. Every regu lation that now retards production should be removed or -relaxed in the public interest. /S h e Served LIEUT. COHDB.

However, we are learning more about this baffling and costly disease as time goes on. For one thing, we know teat it can be carried not only by mosquitoes, but also by mites, birds, ticks, and numerous forms of insects. We know that birds act as reservoirs -for the virus from year .to year (and some authorities say that chickens may do the same). And most seriously, the virus of horse Sleeping sickness can also kill human beings. In fact, the human cases of this disease now run into the thousands, and there have beeft many deaths from it Instead of just one typo of sleeping sickness virus, as at first supposed, veterinarians have now isolated FOUR Qrpes—the Eastern strain, the Western, the S t Louis, and the Ven ezuela. Thus the problem is further complicated. . The best defense against the disease is to have all horses immunized In the spring, before tee insect season begins. If the vaccinating Is done properly, tee horses can go on work ing without layoff—and the Immunity Is usually good for tee entire season. It should be pointed out however,’ that sleeping sickness vaccination requires a special intra-dermal method, involving special techniques and skill, and must be done properly it firm inununity is to be established.

Welter K. Isenhonr.*Hiddenite. N. C. We are living in a day and age of dead formalism. The average church and congregation through out the nation only has a form of godliness. They meet from Sab. bath to Sabbath , and go through heir services in. about the same manner all the time without any altar services, testimonies, shouts of victory and hallelujahs. Years ago it would have seemed strange if many of our churches didn't have revival services, along with ^mens, shouting and praising God, Now it is to the reverse—seems strange if they do. They were eith er right then and wrong now, or they were wrong then and right now. Which? We realize when a church and congregation is deep ly spiritual it is far from formalism. They don’t have everything “cut and dried,” They give the Holy Spirit right of wav. This may mean that a preacher will have to stop In the middle of his sermon for someone to praise God, or for an altor service, heoause somebody comes to the altar repenting of sin. We have seen this in other days. However, the Apostle Paul, in peaking of the last days, tells • Os that people will have a form of godliness, bnt \ deny the power thereof. They will meet to wor ship God, bnt there will be no real, sincere, heartfelt, soul-inspired wor ship in it. It will be formal, dead powerless and uninspiring. Such is the condition today on the Iarg. est scale we have ever realized. Vtoderaism nips all spiritually in the bud. It has become stylish to sit in the pews of the average church today and never say amen to the truth; never show any sign of emotion; never shed a tear. Style ind fasfcian would have it so; pride and vo Idliness would have it so; carnality and lukewarmness would have it so; bvpocrisy would have it •o; impenitent hearts and souls vouid hn-e it so; modern educa tion and learning would have it so; the devil would have it so. Until men and nations get to God, and get out of dead formalism ind powerless modernish, we- are <oing to see a tremendous decline in revival of Holv Ghost religion, i decline in the salvation of lost, ruine'd, hell bent souls; but an in crease of hatred, dishonesty, ex tortion, paide, haughtiness, drunk enness. adnltrv. and fornication, wrecked and mined homes, war fare, wretchedness and damnation O God. help men. get ont of - form alism and get vital, Holy Ghost salvation! Hifh Point Beer And Wine Joint Assailed Declaring that manv establish, cnents selling beer and wine in High Point are a disgrace to tLe communitv. Public Safety Director K . Ingram Saturday a?se ted the police department would make concerned efforts to “ clean up; the cafes, billiard balls and other slmi. . *Iar places where th^ alcoholic be verages are-sold." Referring to a sp it survey made of several places in the down town area and iu all other sections of the city, Ingram said the reports revealed that in mttny of the es tablisbments beer aod wioe fre quently were sold to .persons who already were in an intoxicated stote. Other information brought to Ingram’9>4es1c after ‘th e survey included that ‘‘bottles of whiskey were observed on tables in down town cafes” and that conduct of young girls in many of the places was 'unbecoming. Itisnotwell for foreigners to get all the rations while the folks at home go hungry. Home mis sions should come first. That’s Where They Are Attorney-General Tom Clark oh. serves that the Communists are not a factor In the Democratic party. Speaking strictly, he Is correct. There Is no sizable organization of t^e Communlstists In America. Generally speaking, however, he is wide of the mark. There are powerful Communistic Influences in the United States and tbey are 'to be found within the Democratic party. There they hide behind screens and never wear the label of -their nartv in the lapels of their coats. They choose'to obscure them selves insofar as proclaiming their political convictions is concerned. T hrt is more subtle as- well as a. cnieving More insidiousstill are. millions of so-called Americans who mav never join the Communist party, but ,who serve that cause as Fifth Columnists that burrow about in political offices, concealing their real convictions, and, in order to secure their posts of' preferment and power, they never let it be known that they are "fellow, trav elers.” Mr. Clark must be aware uf this fact. He is too alert a politician not to know it. He probably knows a great deal more than he dares to tell.. One of the major menaces to the preservation of American Democ- cracy i? this infiltration of those who are sympathetic with Commu nists, who insinuated themselves into our institutions and. who are using their high places there to iu- fljenee the unsuspecting to accept the Communist doctrine. Some of .these institutions, be lieve it or not may be in North Carolina and the young people who come from homes and ancestries immemorially confirmed in the faith of Democracy may be expos ed to the ituertion of the deadly evil of Communism from such tour* ces. Think upon it!—Charlotte Observer. Who Wins, or Loses? Nobody was surprised when it was announced that coal orices would be raised to the extent of an average 40. cents a ton The wage increases granted the miners made this increase necessary. At this point one might become engaged in endless argument as to which began first , as with the old (jag anent the £gg and the hen. It is true that the peace time elimination of the working week schedules^effec-.ive during the war. time with their overtime wage ad. vantages caused labor in certain vital industries to snfier.an appre ciable reduction in pay— <1 rednc. ■ion which In-view of current liv ing expenses, probably made a com pensating increase in wage rates for regular 40 hour-week employment desirable if not absolutely essential. But whether in the light ,of the many other factor encouraging dangerous inflationary trends it would not have been better to have endeavored more ,energetically to have found the proper answer to the problem -from the price-con trol side of the. equation is a least a point -for debate. ■ As matters stand wage increases and the later sooner or later force both the overall and tbe' white- collar worker to seek relief from the pressure oM iigher living costs through* further raises in wages and salaries.

The Right Direction The following editorial appeared recently in the Charlotte Observer aud contains more truth thanpoetrv: President Trutaan recommends to Congresr the repeal of appropriat. ions for a total of m ore-than three billion, which is a lot of money Men in the United States, a moun tain of money even If yon haven’t got it. The tJnited States hasn’t got it; that would only be a part of the national debt. , .Most of it is appropriation for war, not: now needed; funds that the Army and Navy will not re quire, nearly two biflion of it bav. Ing been earmarked for their use. But some real progress In another direction Is being made.' More than that one billion of it is to be eliminated from the civil agencies funds; an appreciablr re duction in the army of government employes. It is a step in the right direction and-if fo’.lowed by others the coun try will get some relief from carry, ing this topheavy burden, getting some of it from its shoulders. There is a growing complaint that we have too much government. One way to eliminate it would be to reduce tbe number of Federal employes: T h atis about.the only wav to reduce it. Stop paying them and tbev will begin to attend to theirow n business, If any, in- instead of messing into everybody else’s Pay Or Walk Read on figures presented to the Interstate Commerce Commission to substantiate their request for a 25 per cent rate increase, it is evi dent tbe nation’s rail lines are justi. fied In seeking relief from condi tions entirely beyond their control. Tbe freight rate increase propos ed would not produce as much ad di^ional revenue for the railroads as their expenses due to rising wages since the beginning of the ivar. It is estimated that ifJ the proposed increases conld have been in effect for the entire year 1946,' which obviously they could not, they, would produce slightly less than Si,00 0)000 In additional re- venuep. Over against this there is the fact that increased wage levels, averaging nearly 4 8 per cent since the beginning of the war in Europe will cost the railroads $10,355 ,0 0 0,- 000 a year to their expenses; or-a total of $1:8 5 5.0 0 0 ,0 0 0. It is estimated that freight traf fic this year wiil be 19 per cent be low 194$ and 25 per cent less than 1944, and th'at passenger traffic will drop 29 per cent below 1945 and 32 per cent helow 1944 W ith abnormal war traffic the railroads met costs, paid $3 ,8 7 6 ,- 000000 in Federal income taxes, and earned an average of 4 .9 7 per cent on property investment after depreciation. The government has a greater financial interest, through tax te. ceipts, in the ability of railroads to earn a profit than have the owners of the railroads, because the rail lines pay more taxes than dividends. It is no longer a question of wheth er freight rates wili have to be in creased, it is merely- a- question of whether freight rates will have to be increased, it is merely a ques tion of bow soon; to prevent un: necessary loss to the government and the railroad alike, and assume efficient railroad service"to the na tion. • - ' • • Of Coarse She Can (Christian Science Monitor.)

Politics always discount off-year reports that the S Jnth will vote Re. publican, for they are rarely borne out at the polls But there are so many different factors in the post, war era that the suggestion has been taken more seriously than in recent years. The Trumau-Roosevelt regime, including the execudve and judi cial branches in power during that period, have floated the South's po litical, economic and- racial preju dices. . P. D. R.’s expressed philosophy also antagonize the plantation pol iticians, but tbe depression and the war prevented him from putting bis plans into tffect, Under Mr. Trnman tbe vague threats have materialized. The difference in the Tram an and Roosevelt personalities may also influence southern sentiment as re- fleeted in tbe ballot-box returns. Pi D. R. was the somewhat heroic and cavalier type which appealed to Dixie emotions; and for this warm side of his character they forgive him much. T hequiet, un- gallant Missourian hasn’t that as set.

C, rIoum RepooIm Iin WASHINGTON I By Walter Sbead WNV W NU Wasbineton BureML J61S B re S t..N . W. Commerce Commissioii Fails To Protect Public Interest Go v e rn m e n t agencies which have been in business over a long period of years, particularly those agencies which deal directly with the affairs of Rig Business, often lose their perspective . . . they seem to forget that their ob jective or reason for being is the protection of the general public. A case in point is the Interstate Commerce commission. A long time member of the commission, Clyde B .. Aitchison1- in a recent senate committee hearing let slip a remark which indicates the line of thinking of this guardian of the public’s interests with reference particularly to railroads. The com mittee was considering the so-called Bidwinkle bill, which had already passed the. house. This measure would permit rail roads to make their own rates and other agreements among them selves, subject' to ICC approval, and would immunize the railroads from prosecution under the anti-trust laws as a result of these agreements. During the questioning, Com missioner Aitchison referred to the railroads as “our clients and customers.” Of course, the rail roads are not theix clients or customers and Senator Wheeler of Montana was quick to call Mr. Aitchison on his statement. ltWhy do yon refer to them as your clients? I thought the pub lic were your clients, or sup posed to be?” was Senator Wheeler’s observation. And Mr. Aitchison rather lamely and naively answered that he was merely being facetious. tTransportation Department? Facetious or not, the attitude of Mr. Aitchison is too often the atti tude of other agency members who are supposed to represent the pub lic interest as against the encroach ments of' business and industry or any other factor. It is such an atti tude which is causing some talk here proposing another cabinet post to be known as the secretary of transpor tation and bringing all forms of transportation under one head in cluding air, shipping, railroads, bus and trucks and communications. Another plan would be merely the setting up of a new commission to regulate all transportation facilities.The attitude of President Truman, at least his attitude while in the sen ate of the United States toward the transportation question, is well- known. He is on record as favoring the setting up of a transportation commission, for in a debate in the senate, he declared, “I believe that every kind of transportation should be treated alike by government, equally regulated, equally taxed. I think a transportation commission to control all transportation is com ing. . . . all methods of transporta tion must be co-ordinated. It the government must finance them, let us face the situation and do it. Let us retire a lot of old fellows and give the boys a chance and a career to look forward to.... ” President Truman went so far as to co-author a bill introduced by himself and Senator Wheeler of Montana, which would, in his own words: “We are rewriting the en tire Interstate Commerce act and are subjecting all forms of com peting transportation to the regula tion of a single independent regula tory agency.” The railroads have enjoyed unprecedented prosperity ' throughout the war years and. government has been their biggest customer, and-yet today, with reconversion only well started, the railroads are join- - ing the procession in demand ing increased rates amounting to 25 per cent. During the past months, reams of propaganda- has come from the , railroad publicity offices to prepare' the public .for the recent demand of the railroads for the rate increase. The Civil Aeronautics administra tion has done and is doing a credit able job in the regulation of air transportation, but they are now un der-fore from the shipping industry which is seeking trans-ocean routes in conjunction with their steamship lanes although the CAA has con fined its franchises to a select few air lines for these routes to .foreign countries. Whether this is in the interest of the public or the inter est of these few1 airlines is a mat ter for conjecture. ' At any rate, such statements as. come from, the Iips of Commission er Aitchison,. which he explained as facetious, raises, the question as' to whether or not the interest of the-public or those of the railroads- are paramount with the ICC. The ICC has a tremendous job to do In tkis postwar era, so has the CAA and so has the Federal Com munications commission, and unless the puhjic interest is the primary interest, these agencies are merely paving the way for their own ex tinction and the setting up of a cen tral regulatory agency. G uard Sugar Supply; . U s e I t C arefully W hen D oing Canning Oierries red, cherries-ripe yield bright jewel-colored jams and jel lies to brighten the table. Make a small quantity this year to save on sugar. Short cooking protects their fresh color. One of our longest-lasting short ages is stilt with us this summer when we do our canning. Yes, it’s sugar. Those of you who before and during the war learned of the great useful ness of the well- stocked canning cupboard will again make your plans for canning this summer. And, in spite of sugar dif ficulties, the canning cupboard can still be filled to the brim to help tide over those days when you have just to reach out and get fruit, jams, pickles or vegetables. Tomatoes were mighty scarce this past year for folks who did not have their own supply. We don’t know yet' what the supply picture is for the coming year, but - home-canned tomato juice is so delicious it would be well to put up your own. Here’s how:Tomato Julcel Use firm, red-ripe, freshly picked tomatoes. Dischrd any that are bruised or specked with decay and fungus. Wash carefully -and leave whole to steam; or, cut into small pieces and cook until soft. Freiss hot tomatoes through a sieve and re heat to the simmering point. Pour into hot, sterile jars and process for 20 minutes in a hot-water bath at the simmering point, or 10 minutes at the boiling point. If you. like to use tomato puree for cooking during the fall and win ter, you’ll want a supply -of that ah hand, too. I’m giving you a recipe for the seasoned type which is per-, fectly delicious to use for casseroles and meat dishes. Don’t forget;that a supply of homemade tomato soup and vegetable soup comes inmighty handy on busy days, and there’s no time like the present to can it: Tomato Puree. 4 quarts chopped tomatoes 6 onions 3 carrots2 caps chopped celery 3 sweet peppers ,Salt and pepper Wash, chop and measure firm, ripe tomatoes. Steam until soft. Press through fine sieve and cook until thick. Chop other vegetables, coy er with boiling water and cook until soft. Press through a sieve and add to toma to pulp. Reheat and pour into sterilized jars. Process 60 minutes in a boiling water bath. . Tomato Soup- 1 teaspoon mixed spices 6 quarts chopped tomatoes I eup chopped parsley Lynn Says: Don’t : Waste Fats: , Those extra household fats, are still needed, for making soap, nylons and other essentials. What you cannot use at home, store in a can and give to your butcher. To render fat, collect any ex cess fat trimmings from. un cooked or. cooked meat and store In refrigerator until yob have collected a goodly portion. Grind or chop them fine, then render over a . slow flame, a dou ble boiler or in a slow oven (while you roast . ’meat, for ex ample). Strain through a doth and keep refrigerated.' Crush or grind the cracklings— the small crisp pieces left after fat is. rendered — mid use in quick breads, particularly corn bread. . .Use cured pofk'rinds for seasoning vegetables, casserole and other cooking. Skim excess xai m an (w>ups, gravies and stews and use in making gravies and sauces. Rendered fats may be used in all. types of frying - at home or for spiced cakes and cookies.

Our jelly reci pes are smaller in quantity this season because we know .t hat you’ll want to save sugar for actual fruit canning.

Veterans administration reports that during' March, attendance at these services reached an all-time high with 102,024, an increase of 27,000 over the previous month. Chaplain Crawford W. Brown, di rector of VA chaplaincy service, said the 83 hospital chaplains, represent- ‘ing 18 religious denominations, also made 10,465 ward visits and 103,400 personal , contacts during the month. The chaplains conducted 297 Protestant services and 483 Catho lic masses, in addition to 1,825 other religious ,services such as Sunday school classes, weekday devotions, prayer meetings and instructions, with 30,000 in attendance. The chap lains also during the month con ducted 223 funerals, .filled 561 out side speaking engagements in com munities surrounding the hospitals,' handled 197 welfare liases, offi- ated at 27 baptisms and 22 mar riages and Catholic chaplains ad ministered extreme unction to 215 patients, heard 2,160 confessions and administered Holy Communion to 4,900. VA is assigning full-time chap lains to every hospital at the rate of approximately I chaplain to ev ery 500 patients. Questions and Answers Q. My son was a second lieutenant In the army air corps for two years. In parachuting from his crip pled plane over China, he received a fractured leg and was carried back 400 miles to the nearest hos pital without benefit of anesthetic. Since being honorably discharged, be has married and the first child win be born the latter part of this summer. With our. help he man aged to save up $2,000 after pay ing his expenses in the service. This he has used to make a down pay ment on a. farm. Eventually he will receive government aid, bnt in the meantime his only income is from two cows. We are glad to help them establish their home, but my point is that he has been told he owes' $100 income tax. Can this be pos sible? He was jnst a school boy when he was taken for training, a fresh man In college, and didn’t even fin ish out the year. He has never had a trade or business and never worked a day away from home— Mrs. E. R., Spooner, Wis. A. Income taxes on salaries of men in the armed services have not been waived except for the duration. Where men serve overseas, a waiv er is usually issued, but the due date of income taxes is the 15th day of the third month after official termination of the war. Exemptions include $1,500 of service pay and mustering out pay. Would suggest that you consult the nearest office of the Ritemal Revenue bureau and they can tell you the exact status of your son’s income tax. Q. My brother died in the serv ice November 8, 1945, and I thought his insurance was made to me be cause he told, me it was. But when he died, I wrote to the Veterans ad ministration and found Uiat he had made his insurance to a lady he only worked for, not a relative at all, He has a father living, also five brothers and myself, the only sis ter. He. stayed with me' and worked for this woman and he-'had given her and her husband as foster par ents, although he was in my cus tody and I 'had to look after him untij,he went into the navy at the ageof 18. This woman got around Min and had him to make his in surance to her.-She is about 38 and he-18. Is there anything I can do abont this insurance to get it for us . . . myself, father and brothers? His NatitmaI Service Life insurance amounts to. $10,009. Please tell me what I can do.—A. T.,'Seaford, Del. A. If I were you; I would consult a lawyer. From your letter, it.could be that your brother may . have misrepresented his beneficiary since the law limits beneficiaries to a cer tain range, of next,of kin, except where persons, have'been acting as foster parents, or in parentis. If the -Iatfy and her husband were not act ing as foster parents! you may. have a legal case. But consult an attor ney. Q. I was wounded and am draw ing a total disability pension M $115 a month. New I have a chance to take a job and as I feel able to work, will taking a job result In get ting a cut down an my pension?— V. H., Detroit, Mich. A- Not as tang as you are rated 100 per cent disabled. Q. Is there any chance of the army discharging men over 37 years of age soon with only eight months or little more of service?— A N.

Preventable Accidents There were 1.299 deaths in this State last year due to preventable acddents. Of this number 695 were the result of automobile ac ddents which should not have occurred except for wreddessness and a seeming disregard to traffic laws. Police departments are inclined to charge a large percent of these automobile acddefits to youthful drivers who persist in exceeding speed limits and taking unneces sary chances on the highways and in the congested areas. Drivers under the influence of alcohol are also high omthe list If the causes of acddents are carefully analyzed it will be found that most-of them are either di rectly the result or the ability to anticipate danger. For this rea son children are particularly prone to acddents. They have not reached that stage of mental de velopment to adequate guard themselves against needless in- juty. Many youths and some a- dults are still children when it comes to this particular phase of mental development. .Paroits should consider this matter care fully before trusting the teen aged group with motor vehicles.. More over we should be more careful with regard to whom we issue driving permits. Someday no doubt, there will be developed some test by which scientests can-detect in individuals those who are not accident con scious or those of subnormal in telligence in this peculiar way, and such a test will enable us to guard defectives to some extent from engaging in hazardous pur. suits. There will always be some however, who will point the ‘un loaded gur. and pull the trigger, or jbuild the lfomfe fires with gaso- line. ALERJED- MORDECAI, M. D. #.v?HeaIth Officer- • Notice. New Pay Scale The Service Pay Bill was signed by die President and is now effec tive, Lt. Jphn F. Gramp. Com manding Officer of the Winston- Sadem Army Recruiting Station stated. The new pay scale calls for in creases ranging from 50 per cent for die lowest enlisted grade, to 10 per cent, for die top commis sioned grades. This increase places the serviceman in a very favorable position when compared to pay of civilian industries. As an example. Lt. Cramp said that under die new pay scale, private overseas draws $75 per month, plus 20 per dent, for serv ing overseas, or a total of $90X10 per months. _ This does not in* dude other items such as family allowances, dothing, food, quar ters, medical and dental care which are furnished without charge to to enlisted men. In addition to good pay, the best food, dothing, and quarters, of any army in die world, the Regular Army man of today has the privilege of seeing the world at no cost to himself, and learning a worthwhile trade at die same time. Also, when honorably discharged and return ed to dvil|an life, die serviceman is entided to schooling or on-the- job training, under the G. L BiH of Rights. These are only a few of the ad vantages to be gained thru en listment in the Regular Army.

V r ' COURT FEUDS OLD STOBT WASHINGTON. — Some people Beem to be laboring binder the im pression that wrangles are new in the Supreme court. Actually, wran gling began soon after the court was formed, with the attempted im peachment of Justice Samuel Chase, continued vigorously under John Marshall and has flared-up in termittently ever since. I Latest wrangle, prior to tlie Jackson blow-up, was between ami cable Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone and austere Justice Owen J. Roberts. Although Republicans and Hoover appointees, they did notrget along well in recent years, and there was one hot, though, private argument between them over the question of sitting on a case involv ing Stone’s former law firm. Before that, however^ the most virulent feud on the Su- - preme court revolved around cranky, crusty Justice James C. McReynolds, the only justice credited with driving an associ ate off the court. For six years1 Justice John H. Clarke sat be- side him, and for six years Mc- . Reynolds never spoke. Finally Clarke resigned. McReynolds also tried to drive the late Justice Louis D. Brandeis off the bench. He would rattle his papers or even leave the bench when Brandeis rendered an opin ion. And, when the jurists ad journed for their customary sand wich br soup and crackers at the noon recess, McReynolds turned up his nose at lunching at a table with Brandeis. Intead, he duffed his robe, drove downtowm and lunched by himself.• • • ' row DCRIVG GRANT’S REGIME Another bitter battle inside the Supreme court took place during the Grant administration over the legal tender act. Justice Roberf C. Grier, then senile, was induced by Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase to change his vote, thereby helping to make the legal tender act unconstitution al. This was a great embarrassment .to the Republicans, who needed the legal tender act to support their fis cal policies during and after the civil war. ' ‘‘The chief justice,” charged Justice Samuel F. Miller, ‘!re sorted to all sorts of strategems of the lowest trickery.”• * • UNCOLN SPANKED JUSTICE Another period of near-civjl war took place in the court after the last war, when the nine justices were called upon to pass on the espionage cases. The court was so split, that a committee, including Justices Willis Van Oevanter and Williairf R. Day called on Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes to ask that he not write one of his usual vigorous dissenting opinions. “Too know what my ideas of the law are, and I will not change them,” he replied. And for some months following this, the justices stopped speaking to each other. Probably the most vitriolic t criti cism ever leveled against the'court by anyone in high places came from Abraham Lincoln, when Chief Jus tice Roger B. Taney called upon the commanding officer at Fort Mc Henry in Baltimore to relinquish a prisoner during the Civil war. This the commanding general refused to do. "The judicial machinery,” re marked Lincoln at the time, “seems as if it had bejn de signed not to sustain the govern ment but to embarrass and be tray it.”• • • -FEUD OVER JUSTICE FIELD There was also the cotirt feud over Justice Stephen J. Field at the time the Supreme court de clared the income tax law unconsti tutional in 1895. Field, then nearly .80 years • old, led the attack against the . income tax. ■ Senile, land fre quently asleep in court, a commit? tee of his colleagues suggested his retirement but he only into a tantrum. His vote against the in come-tax made it necessary to pass a co n stitu tio n al am endm ent to make the income-tax legal.» * • EVERYBODY GETS HIS Sen. Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma introduced an amendment to the OPA bill removing price ceilings on timber, petroleum, cotton, milk, livestock, tobacco, poultry, lfish, grain, fruits and vegetables. This , caused Connecticut’s Sen. Brien McMahon to remark: . “You can't beat that one., Elmer’s got something in there, for every member of the .senate.” In this case, though, the amend- ment was beaten.• « • HELL-BENZ FOR INFLATION Qespite all the confusing furore of the senate OPA debate, two things definitely stand out: (I) when price controls are removed, prices rise; (2) most senators are far more susceptible to the pressure of busi ness'lobbies than to the unorgan ized but overwhelming demand of t^ :, American public' in favor of price' control. Florida oranges were selling for $3.85 when price controls were re moved. Immediately they jumped to $4.47. then to $5.45, CORN FOR ITALY . . .

H onorary' D egrees for 1946 Smirmeyl Tbaddeus K. Chorse lov er, business iiian and sportsman): A racing enthusiast, a man with nor mal reactions to business opportuni ties, and a fellow interested* in new track, you nevertheless refused to co-operate with your associates in seeking priorities so veterans could be deprived of homes while new racing plants went up on time. This makes you decidedly one of the Meb of ‘the Year and a decided standout in the sports world. Help yourself to any degree in the house and stay for some cold beans. Snaffle, Dudley Xv-(radio enter tainer and gentleman): The star of one of the big radio programs of America piped into the homes of the land during the hours when the kid dies are all ears, you rejected foul and degrading gags, jokes and leers, even though you knew they were good for boffs. You increased your stature further by never referring to a woman as a tomato.

RELEASE THERH was a pleasant period, of existence during which one could turn to the sporting ■ page with the prospect of reading about sports.••On the sports page,” as the late William Lyon Phelps once told me, "you read aboutcompetitive achievement — a round of golf in 67, a home rim with' two on, a three-hit game, a long run, a thrilling horse race, a story to lift you above the humdrum of dull days.” Those features still exist — but _ lately they have GrantIandRIce been clogged with strikes, unions at work, Mexican lawsuits, football players being haled before the courts for contract troubles, law yers' pleas, judges’ decisions. The gaunt shadow of Blackstone has fallen rather drearily across the scene. The courts are becoming en meshed in football, baseball and racing cases, with lawyers, judges, union leaders and politicians horn ing in on what once were tests of skill, courage and stamina. It all is part of the badly befogged times. There isn’t any questioning the fact that many things have been out of line. Neither football nor base ball contracts can be held legally valid when the employer can hold a man for life, but also firfc him on 10 days’ notice. That, of course, is not a contract. It may be a neces sary, way to handle certain intricate situations, but there is nothing legal about it. Club owners in baseball long before this should have set up a minimum big league wage.. and also should have made some provi sions for division, with the player in question of the price for which the player was sold or traded. Many baseball club.owners are extremely liberal, others are not—strictly to the contrary. The ballplayer, de serves better protection than he has received in too many cases here tofore. In professional football we read where most of the clubs, in the two leagues sign up from 50 to 60 play ers apiece—but their league rules say they can keep only 33 of these players. What about the contracts the others have signed — those who will be released on short notice? If a player can be fired on quick no tice, why shouldn’t he jump on quick notice for better pay? It is a tough problem, since base ball and football are strictly com petitive games wherein certain ball parks, because of their size, such as the Yankee stadium, will draw more paid admissions by mid-June than smaller parks in cities such as St. Louis will draw over the course of the season. It isn’t often that a Tom Yawkey comes along who has little interest in the financial side of his team and who is willing to spend millions to get a winner. JF hat th e F u tu r e H o ld s AU this happens during the best season baseball ever has dreamed of in the way of crowds and, public interest; and to what looked to be the best season professional foot- baU ever has known. Just how the sports public will re act to aU these compUcations still is a guess. It may be fhat the public has taken such a beating from so many wrecking strikes that it has "become numb and no longer feels any pain. Every side has been pro tected and defended except that of the public, which happens to repre sent more than 100 million of our population. These 100 million appar ently don’t count. They are only around to be shoved aside. Just how the keyed-up fanatics who pay the toU will react to all this outside trouble is anybody’s guess. The odds are that most of them won’t bother. The-pubUc al ways has been a glutton for a beat ing, and habit is hard to change. There are many tangles and tough breaks to beset the athlete. Those drafted or sold to tail-end teams get all the worst of it. A coUege play er can pick his own campus and most of the better high school play ers like to be enrolled with winning teams. It’s better to win than to act as a door m at on an outclassed squad. It may be that a union could help in professional baseball and foot- baU, but it would have been a'bet ter way. if the leading players had arranged their own organizations to deal with club owners. An out sider stepping into the working club house of a ball club or a football team to harangue the players is something out of line. It wouldn’t have been a bad idea if baseball and football players fol lowed the lead of the golfers, who have had their Profesrional Golfers’ association working ably for some tim e. This organisation has been well directed by Ed Dudley, the president and a capable board of directors , and other officials. The one cheerful note in all this is. that a large part of the public is turning, more than ever, .to. the playing side rather than toward that of the. spectator: This is the healthiest sign we’ve seen in many years.

She drew a long, hard breath. But Laurence could not drive to and from the farm to Meadersville, where his own destiny lay. Per haps when the war was over and cars and tires and gasoline were once more everyday matters it could be done, but not now. It all boiled down, she decided at last, to the fact that she could not, must not marry Laurence, not now. Suddenly she felt very tired, but. she had reached her decision. She could not marry Laurence and sell the farm and go to live in a small bungalow with a backyard-garden and one cat and one dog." Her life was here. Somehow, she must make Laurence see that. It wasn’t going to be easy, but her mind was made up. And as though the achieving of a decision had relieved her of some great burden, she threw back her shoulders, aind stood up sudden ly, spilling a startled and indignant Susie to the ground. Feeling sud denly light and free— A movement in the backyard behind the Westbrook place caught her startled attention. At first she thought it was merely something white hanging on the clothesline, fluttering in the soft mild wind. And then she realized that it was a hu man figure, a woman in white, mov ing oddly, bending as though to pick something up, straightening to fling her arms wide, her head back. At this distance, she could tell nothing more than that. And then suddenly, with a little creeping feeling of dis comfort, she realized what the wom an was doing—she-was dancing! ■Megan stood stock still, her heart pounding, as she watched the’danc ing woman doftn below in the back yard of the Westbrook place. A queer, oddly rhythmic dance, grotesque in its lack of grace, clum sy and awkward. Ilie sun glinted on the woman’s golden hair, as she bent and postured and straightened and whirled, her arms outflung! Suddehly a shorter, darker figure hurried out of the house to that weirdly dancing figure. The dark figure, a short, rather stout woman in a dark dress, put her arm about the dancing figure, and managed to draw it into the house. Megan shuddered and put her hands over her face for a moment, as though to shut out the remem bered figure swaying and posturing and' turning. Tom Fallon’s poor wife, of course. “Mentally ill,” he had said. Her own period of troubled inde cision seemed absurd and childish, compared to the horror that must live with Tom Fallon all the days of his life. She went back down the Ridge and across the meadow to the. house. A n n ie was getting the midday din ner on the table as she came in, and by the time it was ready Jim came down, a little bloodshot and drawn about the mouth, but freshly shaven and. neatly dressed. “Well, my dear,” said Jim hap pily, “I think we’re going to be able to get an excellent price, for the place. ‘I was talking to Mattiiews yesterday, and he tells me that we should get seven thousand at the very least, I confess I would have been delighted at six thousand, but Matthews says the farm land is at a high peak—” “We’re not going to sell the farm, Dad,” Megan told him quietly. “Aren't'you being a little ridicu lous, Megan?” He seemed to bite the words off. “After all, you’ve had a pretty hard time of it these -last few years, and especially since Annie’s two sons and the rest of the available farm labor in the section was ,drafted, ‘or went into war plants. How do you propose to run the place without help?” “I don’t quite know, Dad,” she admitted humbly. “I just know that I’m not going to-sell.” Jim said furiously,: “Well, you’ve certainly put me in a tough spot! You might at least have given me some inkling of the way you felt be fore I gave Matthews the listing on the' place.” In swift alerm, Megan said hur riedly, “Oh, Dad, you didn’t—” *T most certainly did,” her father ,old her curtly. “I happened to run into him up at the service station and he was loolting for’ a place for some people who want to move down1 in 'here—though Lord know? why I ' A more forlorn and ghostly place to live’ I can’t imagine.” “But if you listed the place and he made you a.bona fide offer and you accepted it—" she protested. "Which is exactly what I did,” her father told her with obvious sat isfaction in his voice. “And he’s go ing to bring the people down here to aee the place the first of the week. Fm afraid well have to sell whether you want to or not.” Megan drew a long breath and said quietly, “I don’t think so, Dad. The place was left' to us jointly; neither can sell without the consent of the' other. I am certain that I can’t be forced to accept.a deal that you. and Matthews have cooked up without even consulting ine.” “Well, perhaps not,” he admitted reluctantly. “But ot course, we will have to pay him his commission, even though the sale- doesn’t go through, since it was our fauIK- yours, rather—and not his, that- it did fail!” : "And his commission is. ten per cent,” said Megan quietly. “That’s —seven hundred dollars.” Sie stared at her father in de spair, but he merely extended his cup for more coffee and said pleas antly, “So I think it would be much better if we just let . the sale go through—don’t you? I’m afraid sev en hundred dollars is rather a lot of money in the present state of our finances—isn’t it?” "Quite a lot,” she agreed, pushing back her plate. She had no longer “Larry, this it Megan—Fm in a jam.” ' any appetite for the dinner Annie had prepared while she sat on the Ridge and reached the decision not to sell the old farm. "Maybe Lau rence can figure a- way out.” “The only way out, if you .are stubborn enough not to sell,"is to pay Matthews seven hundred dol lars,” her father assured her. grim ly, looking at her with angry sus picion. “And if you’ve got seven hundred dollars available, to be thrown away like .that, it will sur prise me a lot—after I’ve been kept practically penniless for longer than I care, to remember.” "I haven’t exactly found‘it diffi cult to spend what little money I’ve had either,” she answered him with spirit. “And as for having seven hundred dollars on hand to pay Maitthews-UiaFs a little bit funny.” “Is it? I hope it’s a joke you’ll enjoy,” said her father as he thrust bade his chair, and leaving his breakfast half eaten, went out. She heard the outer door close-hard be hind him. Megan sat on for a little, at the table, though: her appetite for food had long since vanished; and then with sudden decision she got up and went to the telephone' and- called Laurence in Meadersville. His voice sounded warm and cheerful and eager, as though he was delighted to hear her -say, “Larry, this is Megan—Fm In a jam.”“Not you, darling,” he countered gaily. "I don’t believe it—you’re covering for somebody else.” “Well, perhapsr-in a way,” she admitted reluctantly. Then as brief ly as she could, she related her fa ther’s conversation with Matthews. ISffien she had finished, she asked anxiously, “Do I have to pay Mat thews’ commission, even if . the sale does not go through?” “Not unless you and your father both signed the papers w ith. him authorizing him to make the sale," Laurence assured her promptly. ; “Thank goodness!” said Megan youthfully. The night was superb. A full moon, silver-white in a pale blue sky, rode high, and beneath the thick dark of the shrubbery on the lawn and the ancient live oaks, the shad ows were like soft blade plush. Me gan’s room was flooded with thie silver-white light when she awoke, and she lay still for a moment, puzzled to Imow why she had awak ened:.. And then the sound came again, a knocking at the kitchen door downstairs, a knocking soft, urgent, repeated, insistent . With her heart hammering with sudden uneasiness, she slid out of bed, thrust her feet into her slip pers," caught up her cotton crepe kimono hanging across the foot of the bed, and went swiftly to the Win dow that overlooked the backyard. !‘Who’s down there?” she called quickly, and remembered to wonder why neither. Bessie nor Dixie had barked a warning of the stranger’s approach. • The man who had been knocking stepped back from the door, and full into the white moonlight, lifting bis face to her, and she recognized Fallon. “Fm ' terribly sorry to awaken you,” he said swiftly, and his voice was taut with uneasiness. "But I have to use the telephone—there has been an accident—we want a -doc-, tor. Megan said instantly, "I’ll be down in a moment.”There wasn’t time to do' anything but tie her kimono about her, and to shake back the leaf-brown .bur nished curls from her face. She went swiftly down the stairs, and unlocked the kitchen door. “Your wife?” asked Megan. Tom shook his head and she saw that his face was white and set. His. jaw looked rigid and his eyes were bleak. “It’s Martha, my wife’s sister," he said curtly. “She—fell and hurt herself. What’s the doctor’s ring?, I have to hurry—they’re there alone —both ‘of them completely help less.” .. Megan said quickly, "You go back, and I’ll call the doctor. If he’s not at home, and out on a call somewhere it may take a littie time to get him. So let me do it—” Tom said huskily, “Thanks, You’re—you’re more than kind.” He turned and went- swiftly .nut into the moon-washed darkness and Megan went to the telephone. The doctor was out, and it took some little time for her to locate him, and then it was with the assurance that it would be an hour at least before he could make the call at the West- .brook place. ' Megan put down the telephone and hesitated for a moment. Then she ran upstairs, got swiftly into out door shoes and stockings, a skirt and a light, warm" sweater, because the night was chilly. She tied a Scarf about her head, caught up the little First Aid kit that she had acquired as part of her civilian First. Aid work, and let herself out of the house. She was answering the call of a neighbor’s need as instihctively, as thoughtlessly, as had' always been Pleasant Grove's custom. People who had been enemies for years, who never spoke when they met," uiid aside all personal animosities when the enemy was ill or in trou ble, and “pitched in” to, help. It waS unthinkable, in - Pleasant Grove’s creed, that one should do anything else. She went quickly down the moon- silvered' road, crossed tire little wooden -bridge, and went on up the low' hill, turning in at the weed- grown, gateless drive, and through the shrubbery that had -fim riot and that , tonight gave the house an air of mystery and furtiveness-that was-! almost unpleasant. . :-rv-.-i There was a light in the Mtcheni and another in a corner room at the front. But the IdtChen door -was closed and it w as' there that. Megan knocked. , She heard the murmur of voices, before she knocked, then an instant, silence, and-the movement of feet coming towards the door. The:door swung open and Tom stood there, his coat discarded; his sleeves rolled up; behind him she saw a kitchen that was spotlessly tidy, though de- pressingly drab, and a short; stout woman huddled in a chair, her face turned over her shoulder to look at the door. Megan said to Tom, “Dr. Alden null be here as soon as he can make it. I thought perhaps I might be of some help," before he.gets here. I’ve had First Aid training—” ' The woman said harshly, sharply. “Don’t let her in, Tom—don’t you let her in!” - Tom flushed darkly. “I am always glad to do anything I possibly can for a.neighbor,” Me gan assured'him. Shecrossedthe threshold to face .the woman; whose, darkr angry face and blazing eyes watched her angrily. “There’s nothing you pan do, and we can wait perfectly well for Dr. Alden,” she stated grimly. “So you’d better go on back home.” . Tom turned" on her and said, through clenched teeth, “Martha, "be quiet—she—she knows,” and moved his head towards the closed dopr at the left that would, Megan knew," open into that corner bedroom. . Martha looked startled,' incredu lous; and then anger lit up her face and - she .turned .away, her-teeth set hard above what" must have been a furiously savage, anger. , Megan hesitated, looking down at the woman, and Tom bridged the tense, unpleasant moment by say ing quietly,-. “Martha—fell and hurt her. ankle. I don’t think "it is broken, blit it is swelling fast and very pain f u l " --'Wl' “Would you like me -to make you a -cup of coffee?” suggested Megan gently. "Or perhaps -a cup of tea?” Martha wiped her forehead with the back of he; hand and said husk ily, reluctantly, “Well, I guess you might as well—it would taste good —tea, not coffee."(tobbcqmunuso) ... , S UNDAY I C H O O L L C S S O n By HAROLD I*.

How infinitely gracious then is the Use of the word “thy” in Exodus 10:2! He—the great I AM—is my God, a personal God. It must be our constant purpose to worship him only. • There are many things concern ing which we do not speak dogmat ically. There are even Christian doctrines about which spiritual and .earnest men may honestly differ, but regarding God we say with "ab solute assurance and complete ex clusiveness—there is but one true God. If he is what he claims to be, if God is not to be declared to be a liar, then it is beyond the realm of possibility that there could be any other God. Hear it, men and women of Amer ica who in an enlightened land and age bow down in heathenish wor ship “before the god of gold, the god of self, the god of wine, the god ot success, toe god of fame, toe goddess of pleasure, the .god of licentiousness.” The one true God .says, "I am Jehovah.. . . Thou shaft have no other gods before me.” H. Performance (Exod. 20:4-6).- WhaKis In 'toe heart must show in the life. The second command ment calls for toe undivided devo tion and worship of man. It expressly forbids idolatry in any form. The injunction is twofold. (I) Men are forbidden \"to make any material likeness which to them represents a being to be worshiped. ■It matters not whether it be an image of what men believe God to be like, or toe image of an angelic being, a heavenly, body, in fact, "anything" that is in the heaven above,” or on the earth, such as a man or animal; or under toe wa ter,-such as a fish. (2) If such objects have been made either by our selves or others we may not bow down to them, nor render any serv ice to them. Let us all examine our religious ceremonies and practices in toe light of'God’s commandment. Observe that obedience to this command brings rich blessing to “thousands” .(v. 6), whereas dis obedience is a curse not only to toe man who disobeys, but alto to his descendants. . HI. Promise (Josh. 24:16, 22-24). Before toe . aged leader of Israel came to toe dose of his life he called leaders of the people, whom he had led in toe taking oF toe Promised Land, and "Urged them to continue in the way of faith and loyalty to God. They promised rather readily, but he made clear to them that God was not interested in lip service. They were to prove" their promise by putting away all strange gods. This they agreed to do! Wherein they failed, they sintered-defeat, and wherein they kept their-prom ise, God . blessed them. 7 We.. may learn from their experience. "IV. Practice (Luke 14:25-27). It is not always, necessary to choose between our natural affec tions .for those near to us and our loyalty to Christ, b u t; if. to e ;. time comes for that decision, Christ must come first without . question, and without hesitation. (C f. M att 10:37). The word “hate” (v. 26) does not carry with it anythought of malice or personal dislike. We know frow other scriptures that we. are to.hon- or our father and our mother (Exod. 20:12).. The: one who fails his own is declared to be worse than •an infidel (I. Tim. 5)8). The point is that no personal loy alty or responsibility is to stand in .the way of our devotion to Christ. Our own lives must be counted as a glad sacrifice to him as we take up our cross—in the crucifixion of self-will and devotion to his will (see GaL 2:20; 6:14). DEPAR T M E N T BUSINESS A INVEST.

JLtkttaa Strike Out ; ThU ehtire nation has to IooIc to Its big industrial plants for prosper ity. H the big factories keep going, workers have jobs, farmers have markets for what they raise, and Ithe rest of us get along well enough. When the factories start shutting '4own (for any .reason at all) 'thoughtful people begin to worry and they have good reason for their uneasiness. Work stoppages are. always bad news. Farmers hate to read about strikes because farms can prosper only when industrial workers are happy with their jobs and set ting good tables. Farmers take ■ides in labor squabbles less than most city people think. Without much prejudice they wish mainly -that whoever is on the wrong side .of the argument will get right so business can go ahead. Strikes Don’t Last Not many weeks ago, when a world-famous strike ended, I over heard a'stranger say, "Strikes just can’t go on forever. Finally men have to go back to work, whether they get all they struck for or not." The only trouble with this philoso phy is that it’s not so. The fearful truth is that somebody might some day call a “third strike” . . . one that might be. called a strike out. Every big industrial concern is In league with two different kinds of people—both classes out for money, but in different ways. One group is its employees, the others its stockholders. Both alliances are necessary. There’s no use wonder* ing which is most important because it is not possible for an in dustrial organization to get along unless it has both. They are mu tually essential. Many SimiIarifies It is safe to consider these two groups about the same size. Nu merically, the country over, one crowd is about as big as the other. Individual pompanies differ; some have more employees than stock holders, others Ifeve more investors than workers. In 1940, the General Motors Corp. had nearly twice as many investors as employees and several other big concerns were situated the same way. There is some overlap., In cer tain corporations, quite a few em ployees are stockholders too. They call themselves employees 'however, because their wages usually amount to more than their divi dends. Payrolls have been running 10 to 20 times dividends for. years. Generally, a company’s stockhold ers and its employees are two en tirely different crowds, and the firm can't get along without either. Both Independent One point of most striking simi larity between investors and .em ployees Is that they both are inde pendent. Either crowd is free to walk right, but and leave a com pany. Either bunch might strike a Ann dead with that very weapon. Usually it is the workers who quit because they are organized. likewise, being organized, they can ar range to return to Uieir jobs before it is too late. Investors are not organized and accordingly move more slowly. They won’t strike; there’s nobody too 'call a strike. But if strikes of em ployees kill fiie profit for investors and dividends quit coming entirely, investors will finally quit. Tliey will quit one at a time and nobody will tell them-to return to work. The IInal strike of employees that drives stockholders to quit, that’s the strike that will be called "out.” w in Does It mean? : Balancing a budget, whether it Is s family budget or a national !budget, means keeping a safe rela- ition between income and outgo. The !inevitable result of spending more :than we get is debt, bankruptcy and 'loss of credit. That’s just another way of saying ‘loss of our good name and the respect of our neighbors." ' When we stof> paying our :debts and start breaking <5ur prom ises, that’s .loss of credit. - Uncle Sam is on his way to that social level. He has not reached it yet, but when he does it will be too late to save him'. Now is the time to balance the national budget I 'was never so proud of my home state as when the entire Arkansas [delegation in Congress, senators and ^representatives, went on record in !March as favoring a balanced na- !tional budget. That’s practical statesmanship.Bead These Tnzths "A balanced federal budget" can be accomplished in -the next fiscal ,year if congress will meet its full ’responsibility and adopt a pro gram of economy. By considering 'each appropriation bill in the light !of its effect on total necessary ex penditures, we can hold the cost of Igovernmait within the annual reve- lnues collected. . . . TIm time to be- Igto is now.” So said the statement. I Habitually spending money we do not have can’t, help but lead this nation to collapse, and nothing worse could happen to the world's. Economic welfare. Think of the war functions now idling along; of the men whose energies might be trans- ferredto the credit column. Ittevery locality there is uncounted waste that 'should be and can be transformed -IiitOabitnOftbrift, a Hw Third “R* : For a short while before my first :day at school, and for several weeks iafter, I heard a great deal Of con versation about the three H’s of !education. My elders seemed to ^expect me to think it was very Aatp •ny that the three R'* should stand for reading, writing and arithmetic. It left an impression, to say the least. I still know that education includes some variety. 1 One of the things about modern education that dismays me is the fact that students don’t pursue the three JPt long enough. They a n at liberty too early to ignore one of them—the last one. Figures are dry at first and a lot of youngsters drop mathematics. High school freshmen have learned to say "it's only a waste of time to study things you don’t like and will never use.** IgnManee Is CoSfly“What yon don’t know doesn't hurt you,’’ is rubbish. Certainly what you don't know does not do you any good. Truly an actor may draw a fabulous salary for years and die in debt. Tales are told of artists and musicians who can’t balance their check stubs. -Their ignorance of math did not make them better artists. It would be like saying liquor made Poe a poet, or that harems make great kings. A national poll might show that millions of Americans don’t know what it means to balance the budget. It wouldn’t be surprising; most of us don’t even have a per sonal budget, we live so easily and well. But our national budget needs to be balanced. People who try to laugh that off don't know what it means or, worse yet, would wel come national bankruptcy as a step ping stppe to reyolution. ; LOOKING AffEAD w GEORGE & BENSON PtaM art-Jtiiiit/ CtUtft Sttttf. JLtktmtt Eat Cake Today’s acute housing shortage was in plain view ten years ago. Experts in the business of building and equipping homes were writing articles and making speeches back in the 1930’s forcasting what they called the building boom of the 1940’s. They supported their pre dictions with sound reasoning and leaders in many equipment lines arranged to meet the demand. A viick look at census figures, years before Pearl Harbor, would have convinced almost' anybody that an unusually big share (say 20%) of the U. S.spopulation would reach an age to v e married be tween 1940 and 1948. Patentiy this would call for more places to live and, true to form under free en terprise, business men began get ting ready quietly to; serve this market, but war interfered. Plans Not Executed. Wars always frustrate plans, and few were revised more in World War H than those of the building trades. Priorities on materials, general shortage of labor and the compelling urge for victory changed most things but the predicted need for more housing came right on schedule. It is even bigger than experts estimated ten years ago be cause war retarded building and accelerated marrying. Plans made before the war for meeting this expected peak demand are stiU workable plans. H indus try were free today as it was then, people w hojrant homes would be getting them a great deal faster. I believe Herbert U. Nelson a< the National Associatiai of Real Estate Boards has proved that Washington bureaucracy is chiefly to blame for today’s housing shortage. \ ' Facts to Bememher It's an old story that America has housing a plenty, and it was always true until right lately. France, England and other European countries that have endured regulation of home building since World-War I have been short of housing mean while. Bureaucracy got a firm grip on American building during World War H ' and now hates to letgo, shortage or no shortage. The O.P.A. is the sorest bunion, on the toe of bur progress. H ereisan illustration: Manufacturers of fir doors got caught behind increased manufacturing costs and asked O.P.A. for permission to raise prices 75c per door. It was refused. Re sult: No. doors by mass production. Carpenters can build doors where they hang them, of course, at much loss of time and at several times normal cost. Industry b Beady. A similar man-made muddle built a bottleneck in window sash. There’s almost no end to the roster of crippling rules in this one indus try. Miles Colean, a thoroughly re spected Washington economist, says that industries producing buQding materials are fully reconverted, full capacity restored. Still the most productive nation of history is cuffed and can’t house itself. Why? A price-fixing agency; while proclaiming its loyalty to the people, has reused many small strategic upward revisions, tints halting production. .Consumers do without tilings or pay amazing prices for makeshifts. It savors of the Marie Antoinette school of thought.: On be ing informed that by reason of her extravagance her subjects had no bread, she said "Let them eat cake.” m m m AMiniCAN POUNQMIOIt M R ANIMAL HIALTM HOW THE FARMER CAN ' STAMP OUT MASTITIS In one state, recently, authorities estimated that farmers were losing $76,000,000 per year due to the udder disease, mastitis. In another state, A veterinarian Injecting aatt-maa- Utls dings into the odder. i survey showed that 25 to 75 percent ef the herds in that state were in fected,with mastitis. Reports from all parts of the country, in fact, seem to indicate that this problem is now quite general,’ and is Showing no improvementTet most-any farmer can assist in bringing this disease under control and add greatly to Us milk production and profits, if he will take a few simple steps and follow them sys tematically. Back of these control measures is the fact that there are TWO' major causes of mastitis. One cause Is bacteria which, enter the teat canal and ruin the udder. The other is udder injuries due to accidents or wrong milking methods.Udder Injuries can be prevented by giving cows stalls wide enough and long enough to prevent pinching the udder when lying down or getting up. Also, good bedding and dean- floors are very important.The germ form of mastitis Ia usually spread from one cow to another, In milking. Therefore, for control, the’first step Is to have a veterinarian check over the herd, locate the cows which have mastitis, and place them at the end of the milking line. Then, when cows are dry, proper treatment by $be "udder infusion” method can save most of them from irreparable damage. If the infection has not progressed too far. But just one checkup is not enough. The cows should be re-cheeked at intervals, to Me that the disease has not crept in again. A control program will pay real dividends to the farmer. In louer usefulness from Uis cows and Ir- larger milk production, year after- year. . _ m m m AMIRICAN M U m S8lM DPOR ANIMAL NIALTH A NEW DISEASE OF POULTRY REPORTED As though poultry raisers did not already have enough disease problems < cope with, a new disease has re- ently made its appearance in Amer- of "Newcastle” dlaenee. ica—and it may become a serious matter if it develops to the proportions it has assumed In several for eign COtmtries.'lVne ctmdltien Is known as "Newcastle’' disease, named for a locality In England. In some foreign countries the death losses In outbreaks have ran as high as 100 percent, usually averaging SO to 80 percent Thus far, U the United States, the losses have Unde Sam Says ranged from SO to 100 percent Al the sub-acute outbreaks, the death losses are lower, but it has taken several months to get.,the flocks back on a paying basis.' In the chronic 'type, there have been few deaths, but there has been a Sharp loss In body weight and egg production. .. Unfortunately, symptoms of Newcastle disease may resemble several other poultry diseases. There may be a sharp drop in egg production, reduction in. feed consumed, and a condition that looks like a “cold”, which spreads rapidly through the flock. Then the birds become dull, '-heir feathers become ruffled, they breathe with difficulty, and sometimes there are nerve symptoms such as trembling, throwing the head backward, or pulling the head down. between the legs. These signs may be confused so easily with other diseases that it usually requires a veterinary diagnosis to teU Newcastle disease from 'others. >The condition Is further complicat ed by the fact that this disease affects Urds of all ages—chicks, pullets, and layers; and it also affects turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea foul, swans^ par rots. and wild birds. ________ Uncle Sam Says W s lad Ia H k coal mines neat Wilkes B am , Pa., buys a Savings Bond every mantii beeause he is go* |w ii now.

The main thing is to please.God, and le t this please or displease men. When w e obey God, do His will and please Him, we have n o th in g to w o rry about In one of the old readers a story is told of a man who bad both a son and a donkey. The three star ted out on a journey. Tbe father out his little son on the donkey while he himself walked. Thev soon met a man who said to the hoy, “ You should he ashamed of veurself to be riding while your poor old father walks.” So the bov got off the donkey and the old man mounted the animal. They had gone only e little wav when they were met by another man. Said be to the old man, “You lazy old fellow, bow can ^ou ride along so comfortably while the poor little son has to walk?” Then they both mounted the animal and proceeded on their way. Soon they met another man cominp along the road who was more interested in the welfare of the donkey thah of either -he father or his son. He suggested that the two were more able to carry the animal than be was to carry them Being desir ous to please this man, both the father and the son dismounted and proceeded to tie the feet of the donkey together Then they se cured a strong pole and* inserted between the feet of the animal and then iaised to the shoulders of the father and his sou. lSoon a stream of water was approached which they must cross by way ot a nar- "ybridge. The donkey did not enjoy his ride on the pole. so. he kicked and kicked until finally he fell from the shoulders of his would he friends and landed in the stream balow. Thus in trying to please everybody the man and the boy bad pleased nobody permanently and had lost tbeir donkey in the bargain.. This may be ' a homely illustration, but nevertheless it will hold true. v. Io we tieep in the straight road of rigbt and truth, godliness and holivess, aud stand against all that is wrong and for all that is righr. and God is pleased with oar stand, then we should shout glory halle lujah as we go marching on our way to heaven.

They say, “ Just trust Gqd,” or “just believe you will get well and youwiit beO. K .” I knew a man 'in North Carolina who believed that (so he claimed). His wife became Ili with pneumo nia, and she got worse from day to day. His neighbors told him he had better call a doctor at ohce, He said, “No, I don’t need a doc tor, for God is mv doctor. He will take care of her, she is not go ing to die. ” In three days she was dead. Thaveknown of-Othercases just like this - If my wife .akes pneumonia and I refuse to call a doctor (even though she doesn’t want one) I am a fool and sbonld be In some insane insti' ution If tbe doctors do, not know their profession in the disease of smallpox, whooping cough, dip- theria, typhoid, pneumonia, etc.? Well, thev say that God Is the same that He was two thousand years ago. I will admit He. is, but it is not necessary for Him tc per form miracles as then, for now ’we have the New Testament, tb e finished Word of God to go by. The days of calling the dead from tbe grave is past, aod will be past until the resurrection morning. They say yes, but the disciples opened tbe eves of tbe blind, healed the sick, made the lame to walk, and cured all manner of diseases. I know they did, but tbat was a new day of Christ and a demonstration of His power. If tbisclassof people can dothese things, then whv don’t they bring some of those they have raised from the dead, aud some of those who were born blind and now they see by their healing power? No, in stead they bring out tbeir infernal snakes, tempting God. God wants us to take care of our bodies. If I take' up a snake on purpose jast to sbow man what big “ I ” can do, and he bites me and I die, then I have committed suice. You sav, “Paul took one np and it bit him,, and be didn’t die and Paul didn’t know the viper was in the wood he picked up, either. Pan) bad too mncb sense to play with so kes, and enough salvation of God .to do Gods biddings, and not have snake shows. No one In town believes any njore in pr:.ver than I do. And I have faith in God too, because it is a command ot God, Itisour duty Iv to pray. Bat we cannot heat anyone. “ They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.” (M att. 9:12b). Everybody to their own notion, hut as for me and my house, we will call a physician when . we get sick ” Faith without works is dead.*’ A J. Crater. Elk Park, N. C.

Why ProdocHon Has Slowed Down Q If is cost you more to pay taxes, to eat lttacb, and to transport your self to and from your job, than you OOuld make on that job, you wouldn’t work there . long, vould you? Your production on that job would’t stop. There is scarcely a year pass without some crop rotting in some farmers field. Why because it would cost the Hfarmer more for hired help to harvest the crop than be could get. for the produce on the market Production stops on that crop even though salable produce and labor are available. Those two examples are typical ot wbat has happened to building material production. Take lumber production for example: Labor wages have advanced 58 percent; taxes have advanced 70 percent; but the OPA has allowed only a 16 to 37 percent inciease in lumber prices during the war and np to May 1946. The drop in lumber production has been equal to one and one-half million houses a year because manufacturers couldn’t afford to make building lumber. If you had a stnnd of trees that you could cut indefinitely, on a moder ate scale, and make about $10,000 a yeai, would you cut a faster rate (and run the risk of cutting your self out of business) when 8 0 to 90 percent of the increase income, if any would go to the government? —Neither would the lumber manu facturers. Tbe difference between the 1940 rate of taxation and the 1944 total income, amounts to nearly one and one-half times the total tax paid in 1940. Actually In 1944, average earn, ings of workers were $2,189, hut if the hidden and other taxes were de ducted, the average purchasing power, was $1,306. Cost of Gov ernment debt alone, had increased cost of living by over 2 0 percent Has OPA Held Building Prices Down? OPA certainly has hot held down the price of existing housing. It has also had no control over labor wagesi and the cost of a bouse is 80 percent labor cost, considering both construction, cost and manu facturing costs. Today many of the mills which were “eliminated” by OPA' pricing are coming back into tbe Black Market and other thills are following. Over 30 per cent of lumber production is being sold on the . Black Market at prices of $ 2 0 to $ 5 0 about ceiling prices. Ttie Black Market is one of tbe main reasons you? Iumoer dealer doesn’t have a supply Of lumber. The lumber he might have bought is being sold at prices much higher than he is allowed to sell It. Still the Blahk Market flourishes and continues to grow. « OPA price controls are not keep ing down^productlon ot lawful mills, driving materials ont of tbe bands of legitimate lumber deajges and into the hands, of speculators; they are eliminating stock low cost items and replacing them with high price custom-built items Increased production seems to be tbe obvious answer to the problem, but OPA has cut it off, and cut it off, and now appears amazed tbat that it’s still too short. EIecHon Conceded Reports say tbe Democrats in New York given up all hope of preventing-the’ re-election, of Gov ernor Dewey this fall. Even most ardent New .Dealers say he has made tbe best governor the State has bad since Al Smith Land potent at this office. Left Estate To Hospital The *will of the late L. Clint Wagner, of Statesville, which has been probated in the iffice of Clerk Of Iredeli Snperior Court C.

Vacatioo Thne Is Here. Vacation time! And where is there a better vacation land than right here in Carolina? Tqis year gas can be bad against tbe vears when folks staved at home because they had no fnel. But cars are not new and tbe danger of road acci dent is great. Accentis being put on safety and vacationists should be careful. Alongwithca e they had just as well take their picnic baskets too. For reports coming in from some who have ventured out on sight seeing excursions, is that food is scarce and very high—beds none too plentiful el'her for over-nigbt stopping. These are drawbacks aud should he considered—but even weighing them properly tbe fact remains that this is vacation time; Nortb Carolina hills and vallavs are vaca tion' spots and none us but could use a bit of let-up, for life has been strenuous of recent months —Ex.

Gardens aU over the country - are bursting and blooming with their bounty of peas, corn, green beans, beets, car. rots and greens. It’s time to stop being the pro verbial grasshop per and become the busy ant who wisely laid in pro visions for the winter. Well-laden shelves give a wonder ful feeling of plenty when the earth becomes bare and - unproductive. You can simply go down to your canning cellar and select the vege tables that go best with Ae meal. There’s particular joy in this if you’ve raised Aem yourself and watched Aem grow by degrees, but even if you haven’t done your own gardening, you’ll enjoy Aose hand- picked foods. What Is Processing? When we speak of canning vege tables, we often use Ae word proc essing. This simply means A at you can the food, ’ placing it in sterile jars and apply a high enough tem perature to kill Ae micro-organisms and Aen seal the jars so no more can get in. If you’re new at this canning busi ness, remember Aese two impor tant points: get produce as fresh as possible (this is where having a garden of your own helps so much) and trying to observe to Ae letter Ae rule of getting Ae vegetables .from garden to can in two hours. Rule Np. 2 is to have all your equipment ready so that Aere will be no Ane lost once you start Ae vegetables on Aeir way to the jars.- Essential Equipment. You will need Aese pieces of equipment to make your canning program run as smoothly as pos sible; clean jars WiA caps, tongs wiA which to re move Ae jars from Ae canner; towels; newspa pers, a large kettle for pre-cooking Ae vegetables, spoons, small, par ing knife, pot holders, and of course Ae canner,' preferably a pressure cooker. You may also find a fun nel essential, and it’s nice to have a teakettle wiA a spout so A at you can pour hot water into Ae jars aft- » er Aey are filled. day before you actually de cide to do your .canning check over the above equipment list and see A at everything is laid out and ready. The jars should be checked for nicks and cracks by running a LYNN SAYS: Make canning time ran smooth ly: Have Ae jars ready by fig uring as closely as possible Ae number you will need for Ae amount of fresh vegetables you use. These amounts of fresh veg etables give approximately I quart of canned produce: 4 pounds of asparagus; 2% pounds beets (whole); W i pounds of carrots; corn (cut from Ae cob), 8 ears; 6 pounds of greens;, 4 quarts unshelled lima beans; 4 pounds green beans; 2 pounds of string beans; W i to 3 pounds of tomatoes; 4 pounds of tomatoes (for juice).

Pressure Cooker Desirable. ' AlAough Ae time table at'Ae top of the column gives Ane for proc essing in Ae hot. water bath, it should be remembered' A at Ae pressure cooker is Ae only method accepted by most auAorities includ ing Ae department of agriculture. Why is this, you ask? BTrst of all, Aere is danger of botulism in foods A at are not prop erly processed. This particular type of poisoning comes from Ae soil, and when present in Ae food and not destroyed by processing, they produce a toxin which is a deadly poison. A pressure canner is re garded as Ae only, means of pro viding temperatures high enough to kill Ae botulinus bacteria. You may also ask why Ae pres sure canner is recommended for vegetables and not considered essen tial (Aough it is desirable) for to. matoes and fruits. The answer is that vegetables, and also meats and* fish belong to Ae non-acid group, In acid foods, Ae bacteria can be killed, in a reasonably short IengA of time by boiling-water baA tem perature, but in non-acid foods, much higher temperatures, as you get A Ae pressure cooker, are necessary. Use of Pressure Cooker. Prepare Ae raw vegetable as di rected on the chart given at the top of this col umn. Pro - cook vegetable to shrink it some what and make a more attractive pack. Save Ae cooking liquid to fill Ae jars. Al low head space of about % inch at Ae top of each jar except in. Ae case of corn, peas and SheU beans which need I inch because Aey swell more during cooking. Also add salt if desirbd, about I teaspoon to each quart. Pour boiling water info canner to a level of about 2 Aches, or follow manufacturer’s directions. Seal or partially seal Ae covers on. Ae jars, Aen place Aem on rack in pressure canner. Adjust cover of canner and fasten tightly wiA clamps. Leave Ae pet. cock open until a jet of steam comes from it for 7 mAutes. Check to see A at no steam escapes from any where else except Ae petcock. Then - close Ae petcock .and al low the pressure to rise to designat ed temperature. Then, and only Aen, begA to count your process- Ag time, checking often to see Aat Ae temperature does not fluctuate. When processAg A finished, turn oft Ae heat and let Ae pressure gauge come down to zero. : Open petcock gradually, remove, lid away from you and set jars on several thick nesses of cloA towels or news papers, away from a draft.

BilL -'VA also announced A at job train- Ag establishments do not have to guarantee veterans work at Ae end of their trainAg courses regardless of circumstances^Schools and trSA- Ag establishments are required only to submit AeA usual reports on stu dent attendance and grades of vet erans who are enrolled, and VA traAing officers will obtam Aeir in formation only from Aese institu tions only if Ae schools are unable to AiriiiA regular reports. This directive was Asued after some schools expressed the belief that VA trainAg officers might seek to exercise supervision over estab lished schools A at have had train-' Ag courses for years. “No employer is expected to guar antee a job to a veteran who fails to demonstrate dUrAg Ae course A at he will merit employment. Nei- A er is an employer-tramer expect ed to 'guarantee a position against unforeseeable circumstances which may arise and make it necessary for him to reduce his force or at least not to expand it,’’ Ae di rective says. Qaestione and Answers Q. Can you explain to me Ae dif ference between allotments made by men A Ae services and fam ily allowances?—Mrs. A. R. B., Bed ford, Ad. A. Any man A Ae armed services may make an allotment for several purposes (I) for As National Serv ice life Asurance, (2) for purchase of war bonds, (3) for his bank ac count or even for As family, and- these allotments are deducted from As pay. However, when a service man makes what is called a class F allotment of $22 per monA to be paid his dependents, which is also called an allofment and is deducted from As pay, Ae government adds $28 for his wife and $30 for Ae first child and $20 for each additional child. These-are called family al lowances. Allotments on Ae part of servicemen are not compulsory AAough Ae army urges such al lotments be made. However, a wife or a dependent child may request an allotment, and if the request A granted, it is compulsory on Ae part of the serviceman to make Ae al lotment. Only wives and children may request allotments, parents o r. other members of Ae family may not: Q. My ImsbfeBd was A the navy 34 months and he is entitled to mus tering out pay and oAer G J.

Looking For Husbands Thirty-seven members of the “Amos and Andy Woman’s Glub” of Portsmouth, spent a short while in town Tuesday afternoon on their way to Asheville, Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. The ladies seemed to be having the time of their lives. While pausing here for refreshments they said they were not only looking for pretty scenery, good rations, but also husbands. Here’s hoping that their every wish will be gratified. They were traveling in a Norfolk Southern bus, with one lone man at the steering wheel. New Service Station John Smoot, who recendy re ceived his honorable discharge from the U. S. Navy, and M. C. Deadmon, who served with Uncle Sam’s Army and received his hon orable discharge some time ago, have opened their New Shell Ser vice Station^ on die comer of Avon and Wilkesboro streets. These young men have'one of the most up-to-date service stations in this section, and handle Shell pro- Army Radar School The principles of radar, main* tenance and repair of radar equip ment are taught at die Army’s huge radar school located at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Alldien who enroll in this school must have extensive knowledge of oper ation, repair and maintenance of radio sets. In the Army this knowledge can be obtained by at tending, die Signal Coips Radio School/ Theaverageradar course lasts sibout six months and makes use of die self-progress method of in struction. This method enables a man to progress as rapidly as he can absorb the material. The course is divided into these parts or phases. First, die famil iarization phase in which die stu dent becomes familiar with the outside appearance operation, sim ple adjustments and routine pre ventative maintenance procedures. In the second phase, the student learns the complete step by analysis pertaining to the working of each Com ponent part of the set. Every student performs all the adjustments and tuning proced ures. This phase is followed by a thorough session in trouble shooting. Upon completion of each phase the student is given a practical written examination. The Army considers radar and its school so vital to our national defense that every type of equip ment is available for instructional purposes. Tlie same pokey holds true for instructors. These in structors, the best of military and civilian life, are selected not only for technical skill, but also for a- bility to get along with die men and to help them achieve their goal, Forthemanyyoung men now New Aoto Store Rex Barnett, of Elkin, has leased .

U BIG BUSINESS AND TAXESWASHINGTON.—Juciest gravy to the current tax legislation is the continuance of the carry-back of unused excess profits credit. The sen ate finance committee, always friendly to big business, not only knocked out the excess profits tax last year, but retained carry-back refunds. This permits corporations whose current earnings do not proportionately match their 1936-1939 earnings, to claim adjustments in their 1946 tax payments. This is one reason some firms didn’t worry too mnch about pro longed strikes. General Motors alone will probably hit tbe treas ury for a refund M 80 million dollars. To head off this drain on the treasury. Rep. Cleveland Bailey of Clarksburg, W. Va., Democrat, introduced a bill last January to repeal the carry back provisions. On January 23, the house ways and means committee asked the treasury for a report. Recently impatient Rep. Wilbur Mills of Arkansas, Democrat, pro posed that congress act independent ly, without waiting for the treasury report. He pointed out that large credits can be claimed by corpora tions which actually make more money this year than they did in any of the years, from 1936 to 1939, simply because their capital invest- ment is now larger. Mills charged that many large corporations- are taking advantage of this loophole, and as a result the taxpayer foots die bill for the expan sion of private industries. He also listed a long series of “abuses and transactions which will no doubt be resorted to in order to create carry-back refunds or tax credits.” * • * KANSAS ATOMIC STRAW The Eastman Kodak company has been having trouble as a result of the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico—one'year ago. Eastman found that, for some mysterious rea son, some of its\film was turning black before exposure. Finally ex perts discovered that the film had been packed in straw which came from western Kansas. After the Cos Alamos bomb test, radioactive dust from New Mexico settled on Kansas wheat fields, and is still so powerful that the Kodak company has had to stop using Kansas straw for packing film.« » * TRUMAN WRITES A VETO President Truman was convinced that the half-breed price-control bill would not work. The Taft amend ment, he especially argued, was ab solutely impossible, and he cited ac countancy experts of various big manufacturing firms, all of them against OPA, who branded the Taft cost-plus formula as likely to bring chaos to industry. “I just have to put what I con sider the country’s welfare first,” the President told his congressional leaders. "Let’s not fool the country and give them something that won’t work.” When they told him that they would not be able to persuade their reluctant colleagues to pass any sort of price-coritfol bill, the President replied: "If it’s this or nothing, then we’ll just have to take nothing.” Among other things, the Presi dent figured that during the chaot ic period sure to follow if the poly glot price-control bill were passed, congress would claim it was his fault for not making the bill work, when, in actual fact, the bill was unworkable. He felt also that if congress did dare to go home with out a price-control bill, things would be hotter for them in their districts than in Washington. He also warned that in this case he would call s special session of congress.• * • WHO WON THE WAR? It is now getting dose to a year since the end of the war with Japan, and yet the strategic bombing sur vey for Japan has not been made public. Inside reason is a vigorous backstage, tug-of-war between the army and navy which boils down to the basic question: “Which of them won the war in the Pacific?” Civilian members of the survey staff, however, summarize the situ ation: 1.

Sfc M iU p r Some Thoughts About - IJnioitized Busehall That uneasiness in the bleachers these days is due to apprehension among the fans as to how unionized baseball, still being talked of, will change the national game. Up to now it has been regarded wholly as a sporting event in which noth ing counted' but athletic suprem acy, physical fitness and SMll with a ball and bat. Now it may become tied up with the rights of man, eco nomic equality and the war between capital and labor. 0 No m atter how good a pitcher, may be, the question may become: “Can he go the route, on a picket parade?” •• We may look at a sensational shortstop grabbing them from all angles and merely wonder how good he is in a double header between management and the working man. Even as we rise to cheer an out fielder for spearing one at the fence we may find ourselves thinking: “A fine outfielder, but has he communistic leanings?” *_ “And how is baseball going to benefit from a lot of arguments over whether Abner Doubleday or Sam uel Gompers was the great trail- breaker of baseball and which was the greatest figureoni the diamond, Bob .Wagner or Honus? i Mr. Twitchell said he was greatly worried, too, whether,, once organ ized, a player would stand for boo ing. “When I boo Leo Durocher will I not be booing the CIO and the-AFL? Can I yell ‘Gwan, ya big bum!’ at Hank Borowy without hav ing it interpreted as applying to the Baseball Guild?” he asked. •__ “It looks bad,” sighed Mr. Twitchell. “I’m afraid we may see double headers of the future played on forums of the air!” Explaining the American Scene “The country is going haywire,” said Citizen A. “It has no sense about money.

Somebody was offering him a house for $30,000 that he could have bought for $17,500 a year ago. He grabbed it at once.) “The trouble with America is that everybody’s on a bender,” said Citi zen C. "The way they’re tossing their money around is awful. I can’t understand it.” (He would have pursued the subject, but he had to see a. man about a. seat for an outdoor fight that could be had. for $300 if he acted fast.)

The clerk keeled over with a heart attack. Norman Grans recently produced a jazz concert at Carnegie Hall. It sold out. . . . Norman was once en gaged to a Southern society gal named Virginia.

Tallulah Bankhead zoomed into, the Green wich (Conn.) Playhouse with Noel Coward’s “Private lives.” The play’s romantic rough-housing is admirably suited to the star’s cy clonic personality, and she kept the. comedy pin-wheeling across the stage. Several Broadway aisle- perchers enjoyed her triumph—crit ic Vemon Ricie ejaculating: “Tallu lah, the magnificent; Tallulah, the wonderful!” » P e g g y C c f i m ova WKU RELEASE THB STORY TBVB FA R: Meg CU- tered the b o o n quietly, when »he re- RorneO Irom elding M nrtli».

The next day ta rry came., for lnnch and afterw ard they walked to gether to Um ridge. L arry told her that he knew a te loved the Md. farm , for be fared Ii too. He told h e r he did ndit w ant her to sen the glace, and declared ha w anted to m arry her w hether they lived In P leasant G rore o r In Um comity seat. B e kissed her UghUy and laughed, "I can’t say I blam e yon for not wanting to giro all this up.” CHAFTEB vni They went hand in hand up toe path and to the flat rock that crowned , the very top of the hill. Megan sat down and Laurence followed her to the rock. They .sat close together for a moment, looking out over toe, scene spread below them. Megan knew toe. thought that was in his mind, and she tried hard to marshal all her arguments so that he could understand; but when he turned his head and looked at her, and smiled, he said quietly, "I can’t say I blame you for not being willing to give all this up! We are going to be very happy here.” Megan felt as though she had taken a step in the dark and plunged headlong into space. She could only stare at him, wide-eyed, her mouth open a little. Laurence laughed and leaned forward and kissed her. “Did you think, darling, that I’ve known you almost your whole life and been in love with you since I was fifteen, and didn’t know what your own Imid meant to you?” he asked her quietly. “I admit that I was fool enough to hope, for just a little while, that you loved me enough to be happy in Meaders- ville. But when you telephoned nie in alarm because you had been of- fefed what we both know is a very generous price for the land, and you didn’t want to take it—well, I faced facts then and got busy to see about just what could be done. Be cause make no mistake about it, toy love—you’re going to marry me, whether we live in Meadersville or Pleasant Grove!” There were quick tears in her eyes, but she smiled tremulously. “Thank you for understanding, Larry,” she told him huskily. “It’s —a tremendous relief.” Laurence frowned as though not quite sure that he liked that. “You mean you didn’t think -I would understand?” he protested. “Well, for Pete’s sake, why not? After all, we’ve grown up together. These last years since your mother died, I’ve watched you fighting drouth and flood and hail, boll weevil and corn borer and blue mold and chinch bug—when it would have been so much easier to give up and sell out. Don’t you suppose during those years, I’ve come to un derstand what the place means to you? And to be frank with you— I’m kind of fond of the old place, my self!. Nevdr having owned a square foot of real estate in my life, hav ing grown up on a sharecropper’s place—the thought Cd becoming a landowner—in partnership, anyway —seems pretty swell!” He grinned at her and said hastily, “Not of course that I want you to get the idea that Fm merely marrying you for your farm—perish toe thought! I’d marry you if you didn't have a foot of land!” She laughed and let him kiss her. And at first, that seemed quite sat isfactory to Laurence; but after a little he let her go, and sat looking down at toe rich dark earth, where his heel was' absently digging a hole. “Then you’re not in love with me, after all," he said quietly, and there was a note in his voice that caught at her heart. . Sie stared at him, blinking in amazement. "What 'in the world—why do you—” She stammered. - “I’m not exactly a blind fool, Meg- gie,” he said evenly. “I admit I don’t know a heck of a lot about women; but I do know that when a girl is in love, she is not onty kissed —but kisses, in return.” The color burned in Megan’s face, but her eyes met his straightly. “I—kissed you, Larry," she told him unsteadily.He shook his head. - ,“You let me kiss you, Meggie,"' he returned. “There’s a big difference.’’There was a-silence, and then she said unevenly, “I’m—sorry, dear.” “There’s, nothing for you to be sorry about, Meggie. If you don’t love me, you don’t, and it’s plain that you don’t.” His voice sounded tired.“I’m—very fond of you, Larry," Megan said quietly.“Thanks, Meggie," he answered quietly. “But Tm afraid that’s not quite enough.”And then,'taking her breath away by toe unexpectedness of it, he Kked,' “Is there someone else, Meggie?”Wide-eyed, she met his glance. “But—how could there be someone else?” she protested.“Fm asking you,” he reminded tier."It’»—it’s a crazy question, Lany —I don’t know anyone else,” she pointed out. “That’s not quite flattering,” he assured her, and now he seemed amused at her confusion ’ and her bewilderment. “Never mind, dar ling. We’U let it go, for now. But I wouldn't want you to marry me, Meggie, unless you felt a little about me as I feel about you. I guess I don't quite expect you to be-^-well, as much in love with me as I am with you; toe wise people who claim to know about ’such, things claim that one person in every marriage cares more deeply than the other. .I don’t mind a bit if I love you more than you love me. Maybe that’s the way it should be: Fm afraid Tm not wise enough to decide that. I only know that unless, you’re—more than just fond of me—it wouldn’t work out.”Megan said faintly,- ‘.‘You mean you want to break off toe engage ment, Larry?”“Do you, Meggie?” he asked quietly. ■ :“Why—why—no, Larry—of course not,” she stammered, and put out a hand in a helpless gesture. “1—1 She shot Megan an oblique look and then came out frankly with what was on her mind. think Fve always expected that we’d be married some day. It’s—well, I’ve sort of grown up with that thought. Maybe—could it be that that’s toe reason you don’t think I love you enough?!’ “It isn’t that I think you don’t love me, Meggie — I know you don’t,” he told her. “ I’ve tried.to kid myself that you did, mid tried to hope that .once we were actually engaged, you’d—well, warm up to me a little. But when you thought of setting a date for our marriage and realized that you couldn’t give up the farm or the dogs and cats And cows and chickens, to make a new life with. me somewhere—or ~ anywhere!—that was Sn I needed to convince me* that you’re not ready to marry me yet. If you loved me as-1 love you, Meggie, nothing in toe world would be as important to you as being with me—anywhere, anyhow.”He broke off as though searching for words With which’to make his thoughts dear to her. “It isn’t thBt I’d want you to make even the smallest sacrifice to be with me, Meggie," he pointed out. “It's just that if you loved me the onty way I could want you to—you’d’ be willing to sacrifice anything and everything just so that we could be together. Do you understand, Meg*gie?” She was stni for a moment, and then reluctantly she nodded and said faintly, “Yes, darling — I understand.” “Then we’ll leave it at that, tor the present," said Laurence as he stood up and drew her to her feet. “And now Annie win be sending out a Searcldng party for us if we don’t hurry,” he added; smiling, deliberately breaking toe growing tension, struggling for a Ughter tone. Suddenly, a-mist of tears in her eyes, Megan turned to him impulsively, put her hands on either side of his lean, pleasant brown face and stood on tiptoe to set her mouth, cool and fresh and sweet, on his. Involtmtarity his arms went, about her, bolding her. close and hard against him. His mouth on hers was urgent, demanding, seeking a response that, after a. moment, he .knew with a sick certainty, was not there. And then he released her, smiled at her, his face pale and set, and half under his breath he said huskily, “Thank you, darling.” : ’ Annie was just finishing the last preparations for the midday dinner when they reached the house, and Jim came in, well-groomed and debonair, quite as usual, as they were ready to sit down.He greeted Laurence with an urbanity that was almost patronizing, but after a 'few moments he said briskly, "Well, Larry, my boy, I hope you’ve been able to. persuade this girl of mine to be sensible.” Laurence answered lightly, "Fm not sure I feel that she needs any persuasion along such lines. Fyo always considered Meggie a very sensible young woman!” Jim tried to laugh, patting his crisply barbered gray mustache lightly with his napkin. "Sensible young woman? That hardly sounds as loverlike as I would have expect ed under toe cirumstances!” "Oh, I’m a very sensible young man,” Laurence assured him pleas antly. “And sensible young men don’t go In. for a lot of romantic nonsense, nowadays." "Doh’t they, now?” Jim was elab orately surprised. “WelL of course, things have changed a lot since my day! But seriously, I feel that we have a splendid offer for this place, and since you and Meggie Won’t be able : to'run it yourselves, and a tenant is very unsatisfactory-*'” “Megan seems to feel that It would be best for us not to be mar ried for another year,” Laurence said gently. “And therefore, she W iU want to run the place herself this year, at least.” “Another year,, eh?” he said 'at IasL “Sorry—thought you two .were in love with each other and had been waiting several years for you to get a start so that you could get married!” “As I said before, we are sensible young people, Meggie and I. Slow and sure is our motto,” Laurence told him.’ Jim’s jaw set and he made a pre tense of eating, but after a little he looked at his watch, thrust his chair back, and asked to be excused un der the plea of an engagement. They heard the outer door close behind him with a bang that threatened its old-fashioned glass panel. “I’m afraid he’s upset,” Lau rence’s words were wry with un derstatement. “He won’t try to make things difficult for you?” “Goodness, no—and if he does, it won’t matter. I’m hot in toe least afraid of him!” Shelaughedat the very idea. Laurence nodded, -“But if there should ever be. anything to—well, to make you feel you need help—you’ll remember my telephone number?” he reminded her. “Of course—didn’t I yell for you the minute I thought Matthews was going to insist on that commission?” In the next few Weeks, life in Pleasant Grove, on the surface at least, was entirety normal. The draft called up more and more young men for toe armed services; several, girls registered, for the Cadet Nurses’ Training Corps; Bud Harrison's oldest girl, twenty-year-old Marianna, joined the WAC; Preacher Martin, beloved and feared for his “straight talk ing’ ” to evildoers and toe like, fell on his front steps and broke his leg; toe Jordans, over behind Turkey Bend, had another baby. But. there were currents under neath that popped- above toe sur face now and then, and to no one’s very keen surprise, Alicia Steven son se.emed to have a large part in them..Her malicious tongue, her sly little stoile that hinted - at so much she did not say, the way she had of always' being to the very middle ol sn y ’ untoward event, filled people with angry-unease. “It’s got so a body, ain’t safe in their own home nights, w ith/that woman snoopin’ around,” Mrs. Stuart complained to Megan one afternoon as they sat sewing before the Are that the chill rain made,very welcome. She shot Megan an oblique look and then came out frankly with what, was In her mind. “I can’t imagine what your paw sees In her, anyhow.” - Megan, dropped the tablecloth she was mending and stared at Mrs) Stuart . - "My fatoert” she gasped incredu lously. Mrs. Stuart sniffed and set an unusually sharp stitch in toe diaper toe was hemming for toe newest “Jordon youngun.” “Wen, if you don’t know that the way your paw’s runnin’ after that Stevenson woman is the talk of the town, it’s high time you was finding out, I say,” she snapped belHger- entty. “They’re • always ridin’ around In that car o’ hers—and where toe gets the gas, nobody seems to know,- but- folks say it’s ’black market’ and she gits all toe can pay fer—or what your paw can pay fer." Megan said curtly, “My father does not patronize ’black markets’ for gasoline or anything else.- And I doubt very much whether he has seen Mrs. Stevensop more than half a dozen times—" "Half a ’ dozen times! would b* a-plenty, with some folks," Mrs. Stuart cut in as curtly. Later, when Mrs. Stuart had gone, Megan got up and went out to the kitchen. Sie thought Annie looked at her covertly,’ but toe couldn’t be sure until suddenly, as though she could no longer keep her words to herself, Annie Said, “Miz’ Stuart’s right, Miss Meggie—folks is talkin’ about Mist’ Jim an’ dat Miz’ Ste venson—” “That will do, Annie,” said Me gan sharply.

JESFS AND REVERENCE fob sphemrAL values LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:7: -Levitleus 10:12; Matthew 0:3*37; Mark 7:5-8: 8:3*36.MEMORY SELECTION—But seek ye Otst the Mngdom of God, and his righteousness; and: all- these things shall be added unto you.—Matthew 6:33. Reverence is not an incidental thing which We may or may not choose to have In our lives. It is vitoL Reverence toward God and the: things of God will result in respect for-all values in life. It will balance our thinking, speaking, and our! acting toward our fellow men as well as'toward our God. Our lesson calls for I. Reverence in Worship (Exod. 20:7; Lev. .19:12).: Hie Lord rightfully expects from us a proper attitude toward him> If we worship him as we should, we shall find that other matters fall into their proper relationships. Eissential in true worship is reverence for the name of the Lord, for that name stands for all the qualities and characteristics of God. This means that there must be no taking of toe name of toe Lord , "in vain.” Our use of toe word “vain" carries the meaning of “useless, without purpose ‘ or meaning.” This - is part of what is in mind in this commandment, for the name of Je hovah is-sacred and is to be reverenced as standing for the eternal God. It is never to be used carelessly, or for a frivolous purpose. AU too often we tell jokes or stories which have no real purpose or meaning except to-elicit a laugh, and in them we use the name of God. We all need to exercise care at that point. The Hebrew word translated “vain” has the additional meaning of "evil” and “falsehood.” Men are so bold that they may even use the name of God to support themselves in a lie, God hearsand willin no wise hold them guiltless. II. Reverence in Words (Matt. 5: 33-37). The Sermon on toe Mount (so- called), from which this portion of Scripture is taken, is difficult to interpret to the satisfaction of all. Qpme disregard its evident application to the kingdom and, attempting to apply it in the midst of an un- god) generation, fall into such inconsistency that they abandon the effort and regard the teaching of the passage as impossible idealism.’ Others, who rightly interpret the passage as presenting the laws and principles of life in toe kingdom of God,- when it shall be fully set up on earth with Jesus as King, fail to make any- application of those principles to life. This is also an unfortunate error. We who follow the Lord Jesus are not to swear by either things sa cred or things that might be called secular. Perhaps he has in mind that our lives should be so true that men will not need to have any kind of oath to be assured of our sincerity and honesty.Shearing should be entirety be yond the pale with Christian men and! women. It is all too common with both men and women. One fears that this is true not only in the world, but among professed believers In Christ. Let us stop it!In. Reverence in Works (Mark 7:5*). Words which do not issue in woFks are worse -than meaningless. They lead to acceptance of a formal re ligious system which is dangerous. "It gives a sense tit religious sat- lsfaclion which Jg very superficial, but Of some apparent value. It carries: with it no high ethical demands. It helps a man to feel religious with out being either ethical or moral. It does not probe or arouse. It soothes and calms” (W. R. White). Who win deny- that much of the church life of our day has reached that same sad state of “much ado about nothing”—talk, talk, talk, and no honest disposition to deal with sin, or to seek holiness of life. The Lord hates it, and it is a vain exercise: as far as spiritual results are concerned. IV. Reverenee In Win (Mark 8:34-36). Htye true reverence shows itself in recognizing that God’s - will is “goOd and acceptable and perfect” (Roto. 12:1). . Fonowing the Christ of Calvary calls for a willingness to say no to self (literally, to deny any com nection with self-life) and to foUow through' with Mm on the path of shame and crucifixion. No self- Trinj iand no compromise are permissible to Christ’s disciples. Foolishly to attempt to Hold one’s life for self is to lose it. That painful -; loss has left brokenhearted, wrecked lives aU along the path of mab’s history. But why should anyone do it? , Equally foolish is the one who supposes that this world has anything to satisty the human soul. As- uiniiig the possibility of the impos sible—that is, attaining the whole world as one’s own possession—to do:so at the cost of one’s soul would be an indescribably poor bargain.

JULY 24.1946 Oattodt for Canning Jars and Supplies Bright This Year : —Pbota CtoKM f *« n B m . C a Styles change usually for no good reason except that we worn* en get tired of things, often for no good reason. Oiir grandmoth ers were different. When they liked some thing, they used it until it wore out and they had some things which didn’t wear out. That is why so many of you can boast of owning Mason FruitJars which your great-grandmother took with her in the covered wagon when Granddad accepted the advice, “Go West, young man.’’ You, of course, treasure those old jars even though they have no special cash value, and you have found theirs itreamlined descendants depend able, but you may have decided that you would like to see how a different style jar and cap becomes Ihe food you plan to put up this sea- ion. Supplies Plentiful Supplies of jars and caps should Se plentiful for the first time in four rears. Nobody is offering revolu tionary designs but Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company, which made Mason Jars for your grand mother, has been telling us about a two-piece metal Vacu-Seal cap with Jome-shaped white enamel-lined lid. it seems that the domed lids “tell you" when they are sealed. (They click when vacuum pulls them 3own.) However, before deciding to adopt this style cap, you should Jheck your jars because all brands if two-piece metal caps seal on the top of Uie jar and won’t work unless Ihe finish of that top is perfect. ITie flexibility of the metal lid and the pliancy of the sealing compound permit two-piece metal caps to be lelf-venting. This is why the bands are- tightened before the jars are put into a canner for processing and should not be tightened again. The bands are taken off the jars the next day after the canning is done and left off. Bands are not bought every time new lids are need ed as lids are sold in packages of one dozen. The same is . true of complete caps (lid and band). The Glass Top Seal (glass lid, metal band, and rubber ring “war baby” ) is still with us but not in huge quantities. When using Glass Top Seals, care must be taken to leave the metal bands loose during processing, otherwise too much pres- lure may build up in the jars and Cause breakage or even explosion. Nothing seems so muck in vogue at the moment as the time-tested one-piece zinc cap with white liner. This trend may be a style revival but we think it more likely due to Ihe fact that zinc caps could not be - made dining the war and that “the water wasn’t missed until the well ran dry." Wide-Mouth Jars Back Wide-mouth Mason jars are bade ■n the market. Here the choice of Caps is between one-piece zinc and two-piece metal Vacu-SeaL . Thei usual quantity of all-glass lightning type jars—the ones with glass Ud held In plaice with wires— will be available. These jars, always high-fashion in the Eastern states, come in both standard and wide mouth. All jars with standard opening are being made in half-pint, pint, quart, and half-gallon sizes. Wide-mouth jars are in the same sizes except there are no half-pints—never were. When buying new jars. Miss Kim brough advises that, when possible, one select die style preferred but buy pints for corn, peas, lima beans and meats, quarts for other vegeta bles and fruits, half-pints for marmalades, jams, etc. and for baby foods. ' Half-gallons are nice for pickles; large families may need them for fruits too, but It is far. better to use smaller jars when pre serving vegetables and meats, be cause they are easier to process enough to prevent spoilage. TeB Tour Dealer Although all jars of standard style and size are being made, it may not be possible to find each style and size in every m arket This is because dealers have learned what sells best In their trade territories. Transportation charges are so high on less than carload shipments of glass that even if manufacturers were organized to sell direct to die consumer, the cost of a few dozen jars would necessarily be dear, but any enterprising woman can usual ly persuade her dealer to arrange with a wholesale house to indude what she wants when he places an order for a car of jars. Naturally this cannot be last minute business, so. if you want an “exclusive style,” the retailer should be told about it weeks, In fact months, In advance. It pays to buy home canning sup plies when the dealer first puts them out, as it is a time-wasting nuisance to have to stop in the midst of canning to go- to the store for jars, caps, orubbers. The rubber story is about the same as it was last year. The best ones are red and all are synthetic, but don't let that worry you because synthetic rings seal as well as those in which natural rubber is used. AU in all, the jar and cap outlook is bright. AU styles are. good. U- you buy a nationally known brand and use it according to the manu facturer’s instructions, you can put up your quota of fruits, vegetables, and meats, with the assurance of- sealing satisfaction.- Christmas Giving Simplified— You “Plan When You CANI1 It may be a long time till Christmas but didn’t you vow last jrear that never again would you spend so much for so little nor wait until the eleventh hour to do that spending? And didn’t you worry a wrinkle in your pretty brow because you couldn't think of the right gift for the friends who“ have everything” ? Nobody has everything and the very thing one person may m m Mw too everydayiSh to rate gift - may be all but priceless In the eyes Df another. So, why not for a change do most of your Qirisbnas shopping right in your own fruit pantry? Now : Is the time to start!

Superior Food Is Yours by Following Rules for Quality Canning - V - •‘Si ? -F A eto Coartasr BmII Bros. Co. Ask ten women why-they put up fruits, vegetables, jams, pre serves, etc., and you may get ten different answers but they all add up to economy and flavor. At present, high living costs are forcing many persons, par ticularly members of the so-called white-collar class, to accept merchandise of inferior quality or do without, but almost every body can have vegetables of superior quality and flavor for there can always be gardens, and fortun-<s> ately, glass jars for home canning ‘ are pre-war quality at pre-war prices. Canned foods should be seasoned, flavored, or sweetened to suit the taste of one’s family. It you like com and beans, com and tomatoes, tomatoes and okra, cooked together, can them together — but keep in mind that a mixture must be pro cessed foe time needed for the vege table requiring fo longest time. Own a Canning Book “But,” warns Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company, manufacturer of home canning jars, “whatever you do by way of seasoning, be sure to follow foe rules when canning. Eteery homemaker should own a good canning and preserving book.” Buy whatever new jars, caps, lids, and rubbers needed. Use reg ular home canning jars and beware of any which haven’t the name of a reliable manufacturer on them. Elxamine every jar, cap, and lid be fore it is used and use according to foe manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure pressure cooker and water-bato canners are in perfect order. Use strictly fresh produce and use it foe day it is m atae enough to cook for immediate serv ing. Discard tough, withered, rusty, - wormy vegetables. Wash all prod uce before breaking or cutting and wash only enough for one canner load at a time. H Don’t Lose Time Waste no time between steps in gathering, sorting, washing, prepar ing, and canning. Cover prepared vegetables with boiling water and boil five minutes (some vegetables, for example beets and sweet potatoes, require longer). P o a hot vegetables into clean hot jars. Don’t cram them down. There must be room for wa ter to circulate between foe pieces and there should be from Vi to I inch space between the vegetables and foe top of foe jar. Cover vegetables, after placing in jars, with water in which they w^re boiled or use fresh boiling water. Use clean salt, add it before or after the jars are filled, or leave it out. It is put in for seasoning only. If air bubbles form, run a knife down between side of jar and food. 1 Put foe jars in a hot canner as soon as they are filled. Letting them stand around on foe kitchen table in vites spoilage.Process all vegetables except to matoes, which are really a fruit, in a steam pressae cooker for the time given in foe recipe you are following. We recommend foe use of a pressae cooker because, when in good working order and used ac cording to instructions, it is by far the quickest and best way to can all low-acid vegetables such as beans, beets, peas, corn, etc. Boil ing for a long time in a water-bath canner is foe next best way and is foe one commonly used in the North Central and Eastern states. Water- bath processed vegetables (does not mean tomatoes—they are acid and should be done ' in water bath) should never under any. circum stances be tasted until after they have been boiled IS minutes. The same is true of those processed in a steam pressure cooker When there is the slightest question as to wheth er foe cooker was in good operating condition or was-operated cor rectly. The purpose of boil-before- tasting is to destroy any toxin which may have developed. The toxin won’t be there to destroy if fresh produce has been carefully washed, prepared, packed, and properly processed.

C Never have we seen a time, as Christians of tbe twentieth century, when the masses of mankind, were more wicked. Surely, surely the coming of the Lard draws nigh, as the earth seems practically ripe for destruction. Perhaps there has never been a time when the nations of the entire earth were filled with hatred more than they are today. We donbt if there was ss much ha tred among, nationc In the days of Noah as there is today. If there was, it didn’t manifest itself In world-wide wars as it has for the last few'vears. AU this wickedness makes it very very bard on the oeople of God It enters into homes and breaks them up. Not onlv does hatred wreck homes, bat so m any. sins otherwise destroy them. The dew. il hates every Christian on the face of the entire earth, thorefore is do ing his utmost to break in and break down the Christian religion. Christians are going through the 'fiint mills,” on every hand. If it isn’t one thing to try them it is something else. Liquor is tremen dously ruining the homes of Amer ica today, and the homes, of the earth. Adultry rises to the high- ast and blackest peak, in the mid night of present wickedness, the nation has ever realized. It is the hardest time to be absolutely hon est and straightforward tbe Chris tian has ever known in: American bistorp, and perhaps Ij the history of the world, especially, since the days of Noah. ' The Christian’s onlv refuge is in God. Every believer in ' God and His holy Word, should read often the ninety first Psalm and live in it. Personalty speaking, I read this Psalm eveiy day of my life. . Then everv Christian must pray, pray, pray in order to stem tbe tide of wickedness . that is flooding the eurth today. Indeed prayer brings God’s wonderful grace into our souls, and also empowers . ns for service, and gives us victory over tbe powers of hell and darkness As tbe followers of the Lord Jesus Chiist we must pray continually and live close to Him. W ithout His presence with us we could not possibly overcome the enemy of our lives and souls. O dear Chris tian, pray, draw nigh to God and plead the precious blood of Christ continually for purity of soul and for strength to keep going in the narrow way heavenward. Why Has Building Been Retarded? Production of building 'materials have been steadily going down be cause building materials have been under a Government OPA policy that was originally designed to keep down production. There have been a flurry , of rapid changes in tbe last few weeks, but tbe princi pal sfill remains. We boast of our extraordinary wartime production peaks—but did we produce tanks, airplanes, guns, ammunition and ships under OPA restrictions? What did tbe Army and the mili tary say to OPA? They said, take care, of restric ed civilian produc tion, we don't wan’t much of that* K t produced anyway. Keep the price down on thaf. if »ou can, bntifw e' want production, we’ll pay the price necessary to get-it I The Army and Navy got production, but not with price control. Mighty bad for foreigners to come around and tell us how to run our town and county. Where were they, when we were fighting for goods roads,, better schools,, water works and electricity? The echoes answer, where? Sadly Disappointed Some people are very angry that the world didn't come to an end, at least, the economic world; of the Uriited States,. when OPA was knocked In tbe head. They ex pected prices to. double, to triple, to go out of sight, and are sadly disappointed.' Adding to their wrath and dis comfiture is the reappearance. of scarce foods and articles, some of. which have become practically ex tinct. These amateur economists, these prophets of doom, find peo. pie going along as usual, tnana. ging somehow to survive, eating and wearing, working and general. Iv behaving verv calmly. The prophet in many cases don’t give a rap about inflation or the dear people they would save. They aren’t interested in that phase oi the problem a t. all. W hat, they want is continued. increasing bu reaucratic control of the people the government, a managed economy —with themseives as the managers.

Blames Democrats For Confusion Hartford, Conn.—Carroll Reece1 chairman of the.Republican nation al Republican national committee, declared that the Democratic ad. ministration was responsible for the country’s "strikes, violences, stop pages and confusions” because '" it traded lopsided, unfair government al favors and the influence for votes and political support in the black markets of the racketeers arid ex ploiters.” " It traded the ■ administration’s' iutegritv and the people’s trust for a mess of political pottage,” assert ed Reece, adding "now the pottage has disappeared; and we have only the mess.” It has happened,” said Reece in an address prepared for delivery be- fore the Hartford’s Women’s Re publican organization, "because the New .Deal ^administration—which, Mr Trnman asserts over and over again is still in power uridef his presidency — sold itself — and the country, into the hands of political extortioners and' blackmailers — and the nation is. paying the 'bitter priee of that unholy deal , "This happens In America—be cause the men holding the real power in tbe administration have lost bo(h their sense of direction and their sense of dedication.

There has been beard a great deal of talk IatelV where the CIO and the extreme "lift wingers” will be beaded i f ' President Tru man leans too strongly to the "right’' or snubs the Wallace wing of the Democratic party. Likewise we have beard much as to what the "Conservatives"- will do(if Truman tries to carry the Democratic party over into the Walbce-Hilroan camp. To bring the problem home to us. Southern Democrats are growing mighty tired , of CIO domination of their partv [and there has been heard some talk that. Repriblicans might profit from this if good judg tnent is used in naming.’caudidates and setting up party issues. The Charlotte Observer’s bril liant editor, Dr Julian Miller, in discussing this question had the following to say: A parallel between the position of the South and the CIO within the Democratic'party seems to have escaped Presipent Truman, and Chairman Hannegan. _. . Otherwise, it is diffiult to under stand their continued subservience to that labor organization and its Political Action Committee. For yeats it has been the custom ot the northern and eastern leaders of the Democratic party to ignore the South and its claims for consid eration as a loyal supporter Throughout the days of the WPA the South, which had voted solidly Democratic, did not receive any. thing like its proportionate share of Federal projects; whereas uncer tain states like Ohio. Illinois and Pennsvlvania go- far more of snch government fnnds than could have been normally expected. The reasoning of the party chiefs was this: "T he South is going to vote Democratic in any case. Whv waste favors on a section that has to stay in the party because it has nowhere else to go?” ' Those favors, therefore, were dis tributed where they would do the most good in nolding states that might easily slip back into the Re publican column. The CIO is in much the same position. ' It has thrown its lot irrevocably with the Democratic party and bias made snch implacable enemies a mong the Republicans whp really run-the party that it has no chnnce to gain any power In that organi zation. \ The Republicans, in fact, are itching for a chance to win a ma. jority in Congress so that they can deal properly witbt the CIO. The talk of a third party is mere talk, for tbe CIO politicians are astute enough to know that any', body who starts a third party in this conntrv stgns bis own political death warrant. Ttie CIO, therefere, is -in the Democratic party and, like the South, has nowhere else to go. If Mr. Trnman and Mr Hanne gan would recognize this matter of practical politios, they would' per. cieve that it is . not necessary for them tojbe- continually appeasing the CIO for fear of losing its sup port at election time. ’ They would also see that, by ac ceding to every demand of tbe CIO they are turning everybody else a. gainst them. And, If tbe process continues un til the whole country except the CIO is alienated, Mr, Truman rind Mr. Hannegan will Ood that they also have nowhere to go.

A . T . GRANT, Commissioner. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. TRUMAN’S VETOWASHINGTON. — Opinions may differ as to whether President Tru man was right in vetoing the price control bill, but he personally has not changed his mind a bit. When he arrived on Capitol HiU for the Boosevelt memorial service, Truman was greeted by his old friend, Kenneth Romney, sergeant-fit- arms of the house. As they shook hands, the President quipped: “I didn’t khow whether you folks would let me come up here today after reading my latest message.” “Oh, don’t worry about that,” chuckled the sergeant-at-arms. “A lot of us are glad yon vetoed that OPA bill. And your veto message Mt the nail right on the head. Tou did the right thing, in my opinion.” “I couldn’t do anything else,” replied the President with chin-set seriousness.• * • EQUIPPING V. S. SCHOOLS When a committee representing the leading national educational organizations tried to see War As sets Chief Lt. Gen. Edmund El Gregory about getting surplus equipment for American schools, it received two brush-offs. Once Gregory had been “called out” ; another time he was "too busy.” However, the educators, had no trouble seeing Gregory’s boss,' President Truman. Further, Tru man's callers, were definitely as sured that steps would be taken to provide schools, colleges and uni versities with more war surplus. They informed the President . that approximately 2,000,000 American youths would seek education next fall in colleges alone. Of these, about 970,000 will be World War n vets. Un less schools are given a “fair and reasonable” access to war surplus goods — laboratory, classroom, cafeteria and kitch en facilities, electronics equip ment, visual aids and other items — a great many of the students cannot be accommo dated. “Education cannot afford to go Into the commercial market for what we need — and need drastical ly, Mr. President — because we do not have the money,” asserted one of them.• • * CONSOLIDATING GERMANY Top secret talks between the Americans and the French have now started to weld western Ger many into one economic unit. The move may *nd up by uniting the U. S., British and French zones into one anti-Russian sector, with the rest of Germany under the hammer and sickle. The TJ. S. occupation zone in cludes most of the province of Wurttemberg and the northeastern quarter of Baden. The remainder of the latter province and a small western piece of Wurttemberg are under French control. This suggestion was approved in principle by iMaj. Gen. Lucius Clay and Lt. Gen. Joseph Mc- Naraey, highest-ranking U. S. commanders • in Enrope, and the war department has in structed General McNarney to inform the French that this country will discuss the plan if France agrees to discuss, at the same time, internationalizing the vital Buhr basin. If the deal is worked out, it will be an important step toward ending the economic confusion which exists under the present set-up. The United States, Britain and France are hoping to unscramble the cur rent mess, at least in western Ger many. Russia so far has indicated no willingness to go along.• * • RESEARCH FOR FARMS Secretary of Agriculture Ander son and a delegation from the house; agriculture committee re cently CEilled on President Truman to plug for the Flalmagan - Hope farm research bill. However, not much plugging was necessary. Anderson opened the White House meeting by emphasizing the impor tance of the legislation, which is aimed at finding new uses for farm products and improving marketing. “The bill already has been called to my attention,” the President said immediately. “I have1 looked into it and I am In favor of appropriating whatever money is necessary.", A primary aim of the bill is to do away with such marketing bottle necks as caused large acreages of cabbage and lettuce to be plowed under recently in North Carolina.* * * CAPITALCHAFfi Official state department broad casts to Russia in the Russian lan guage will begin just as soon as the necessary staffs have completed their training. . . . One of John Snyder’s first acts as secretary of Die treasury was to agree to the release of gold to Argentina. This gold was seized by> the U. S. gov ernment at the start of the war. Its release is a major victory for Presi dent Peron. . . . President Tru man has decided to abandon his plana for an Alaska vacation. MEAT BEGINS TO FLOOD MARKETS . . .

In meat centers such as Chicago, Kansas City and Los~Angeles the supply was even more plentiful. Whether it was a rash by farmers to get cattle to market before enactment of new OPA or be cause of, at least, temporary end of black market, the reason is not entirely clear. Higher prices was a factor i. U.S. CAVALRT PARADES IN TOKTO . . .

The Yale classic fes tivities coincided with the opening of Jimmy’s latest movie “Two Sis ters From Boston” in the college town. Both Yale and the picture people made the most of it. No result was announced officially, but observers say Yale lost another close one.• Believe it or not, the class of 1913 adopted Durante. And in one of the class costumes “The Schnozzle paraded in the traditional com mencement, parade, did his stuff at the annual ball'game and was pho tographed being welcomed by Pres. Cbarles Seymour of Tale and Mrs. Seymour, a distinction not record ed by the photographers in the ease of Trygve Lie, secretary of the United Nations, and many notable Americans present for honorary degrees.» Proving that by the scale of cockeyed values existing in this screw ball age there is no limit to how far a radio celebrity, and Hollywood stair may go. * _ News that Jimmy Durante would be a Yale commencement figure drew out greater crowds than any commencement in years and there are those who insist that the closing line of the famous old Yale theme song was rendered “For God, for Country and for the Schnozzle.” *_ “I never realized them Tale scouts' was even watcbin’ me,” said Jimmy. “I admit ,I never stopped Harvard or Tale, but on the other hand I kept Notre Dame from getting on the Tale sched- ule. “I was always a Yale man at heart, even if my soul belonged to the University of Hard Knocks and my body to good old Crossley Rat ings. Blue is my favorite color Snd I’ll see that it gets a break in tele, vision.» “I was cut out to be a college man, but in my youth I could never get much practice In punting and drop kicking on account of them low ceilings in Greenwich village night* eries. My first words as a baby were 1BooIa Bbola.' I was chris tened James but my folks called me EIihu for short. And I was short- er than most kids. •_ “Yale was in my blood. I could feel it thumping there, but not get ting nowhere. Maybe it was on ac count of the good blocking by Har vard and Princeton. *_ “I wanted the higher education but I was particular. I said it’s Yale or nuthin’ with me. Yale lost that one too!”* * • CAN YOV REMEMBER— Away back when you took it in the tight sfHrit if somebody offered you a dollar?

A couple were married on top of a flagpole the other day. *_ Marshall Jacobs, a professional flagpole sitter and Yolanda Cos- mar, the. girl of his choice, went through the wedding ceremony of the. year at Coshockton, Pa. The ; wedding numbers were announced as “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life” and “I Love You Truly.” We would have recommended “Don’t Pence Me In” and “Upsie Daisie.”. Evidence of a return to dafiiness In this country is most comforting. And we needed a demonstration of true and unswerving love and der votion. When a bride goes-up to the top of a 176 foot flagpole for her man that is it.* * • Why A m erica Is G reat “I have seen magnificent univer sities in America. I have seen its wonderful laboratories and its mu seums of which old European cul ture would be proud, and I have also seen Lions’ club luncheons where full-grown men, imitating lions, roared upon command. It is a curious country.” — Hya Ehren- bnrg, visiting Russian writer. *_ We know tf Lions’ dub, Ilya, in which a college dean leads the roar ing and a laboratory chief tosses his head while he roars like a Nubian species.* • *' Wbat this country, needs is a good flve cent dollar.• * • “Times Square Ticket Agency Robbed”—headline.

He fails, however, to men tion the ,-number one factor that broke Hitler down: The way the Taidts said, “Oh yeah,” to Adolf’s mike addresses! or & GfiMfTlANO Ted Williams T*HE ash-swinging mix-up in the American League among such riflemen as Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg, Charlie Keller and Joe DiMaggio has been more hectic than it at first looked to be. Ted Williams, the Red Sox blast er, was the man to beat back in mid- April, and he is still the one to beat through the long August and Septem ber march ahead. Only Wakefield has fallen behind schedule among the big hitters. The others have picked up just about where they left off and the scramble still will be keen along most of, the remaining route. There is little chance now that anyone will come dose to overtaking Babe Rdth’s high .mark of 60 homers, or the two big years that Jimmy Foxx and Hank Greenberg had in the past — but it will take around 45 homers to lead the two circuits, and the four present leaders all have a shot at this target. While Joe DiMaggio’s general av erage has been well below other years — his lifetime mark is around .337 — the Tankee outfield er hasn’t lost his grip on the home- run bat. His long-distance range remains. It has remained for Charlie Keller to improve in both departments — the Maryland Maul er has moved into his biggest sea son and so far he shows no signs of slipping back. While Yankee hitting generally has been below the expected aver age up to this July date, its home- run count has been healthy enough. In the way of long distance blows, Keller, DiMaggio, Henrich, Gordon, Lindell and others have managed to hold their own or do just a shade better. The American League stiU has the margin in power. In the National Johnny Mize of the Giants is still the top home-run hitter in the old er circuit. National League support ers will tell you that National League hitters have to face smart er and better pitching. This may be true but we doubt it. We can’t quite visualize better National League pitching than Feller, New- houser, Chandler, Hughson, Ferriss and a few more have been offering. For the past 25 years the Amer ican League has adopted the old Babe Ruth slogan — not to “bit ’em where they ain’t” but to hit ’em where they can’t get at ’em. In the way of a home run market, it is almost a certainty that the Amer ican will have the four top men. Baseball again has proved, as boxing proved in the case of Joe Louis, that the punch is the last thing to leave the athlete’s system. Hank Greenberg 'certainly has proved it to a marked degree. Hank is no elastic cat around first base —the old legs are not what the young legs used to be. They never are. But the Tiger slugger has proved that he can keep on getting his home runs, whatever else may have happened through the enervating process of added years and a long war layoff.• • * Your Money’s Worth From, which sport does one get the best return for the money he invests as a spectator? We offered this query to a rather large group of sports-loving fanatics who follow the $ortunes of many games. We be gan to figure out the cost, plus the excitement, the thrill and the sat isfaction derived. It broke down something like this:. 1. For a World Series fame, the cost for a reserved seat is $5.50. The cost of a seat for a series of Uuee games is $16.56. 2. For an Army-Notre Dame or an Army-Navy football game the top seat cost to $4.40. The price is no higher for a Michi gan - Ohio State or a Pennsyl vania - Army contest — for any football contest. 3. For an Open Golf contest the cost is $2.50. 4. For an International Polo match the cost-tag is around $5. 5. No cluunpionship or high- ranking basketball game costs more than $3 or $4 for a seat. 6. Ton can see a national tennis championship match for no more than $5 if that much. 7. For a day at the Olympic games you could get a good seat for $3. 8. Ton can get one of the best seats at the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness or the Belmont for prices that'range from $5 to $10. It was here the argument warmed op, all on one side. Then why should a boxing match range from $16.50 to $100, when on a gen eral average the contestants involved are far below the average skill of baseball, football and other stars, including gclf? One answer might be that the public is willing to pay. It is, of course, all up to the sporting public. It still can be said that no law exists which forces anyone to pay far more than a show is worth — and Uie public is the only ageAt that can handle the situation.

Annie IeIt a sh irt ol her IaUiertS and Meg picked It np. There w as lipstick on It. She m entioned it to Jtm th at night. CHAPTER IX The next morning when she was assembling the laundry. Annif came to Megan carrying a shirt of Jim’s and held it out, saying in that color less voice, “Do I wash dis one, Miss Meggie?" Megan Iookedat the shirt, puzzled. Axid then she saw the unmistakable signs of lipstick on the collar! That of course, had been the reason An nie had brought the shirt to her— so that she might see the lipstick mark! Megan drew a breath and said quietly, "Of course, Annie—what a silly question!" Megan sat quietly, her hands clenched in her lap. But after all there was surely no reason why her father should not see Alicia Steven son, if he liked—even to the extent of getting her lipstick on his shirt collar! . Alicia was a widow, Jim a widower. But that night when Annie and Amos had departed for their own two-room cabin at the back of the barn, and Megan and her father were alone in the house, Megan said quietly, “I understand, Dad, that you’ve been seeing a lot of Mrs. Stevenson?" Jim looked up at her from his newspaper, and his eyes darkened with anger. “Have you any objec tions?” he demanded curtly. "None at all,” she answered-him evenly. "It’s just that I was a little surprised, that’s all—to hear a thing like that from the neighbors, instead of from you—” “A thing like what?” Jim’s anger had deepened. “You sound as though I’d been conducting an—er —affair with a very charming and pleasant woman.” “I know nothing about it, except that—it seems people are talking—” “Pleasant Grove people? Do you think I give a dam what the—scum in this place talk about?” “They are my Mends,” she pointed out. “That’s your own fault,” he re minded her. "You don’t have to live in this—this hick holel You had a chance to get out of it—” "We’re getting away from the subject, don’t you think?” "Jt you’re prying, trying to find out about my intentions towards Mrs. Stevenson,” Jim said distinct ly, a little malicious light in his eyes, "I have no objection to telling you the truth. I hope to marry Mrs. Stevenson—as soon as I can per suade her! She’s selling her place, and I think we can make her hap py here, don’t you?” • “You would bring1 her—here?” Megan gasped, appalled. Jim’s eyebrows went up in pretended surprise, though his eyes laughed at her. “And where else would a man take his wife, if not to his own home?” he asked. “You aren't for getting that it is my own home— quite as much as it is yours?” Megan sat very still, stunned with the unexpectedness of the blow. ‘‘Of course,” Jim went on after a moment, “when Matthews was so sure he could get seven thousand for this place, Alicia and I planned to keep her place and live there, because her place won’t bring over two or three thousand. But when you decided not to sell—well, Alicia gave the listing of hers to Matthews, and we feel sure that we can all be quite cozy here together.” Megan drew a hard breath. “You know that wouldn’t work out, Dad,” she said. “I can’t see why. notl There is surely ample room—four big bed rooms upstairs, five rooms down stairs—why, there’s room enough here for half a dozen people—” “If there were forty rooms, there wouldn’t be enough room under one roof for Alicia Stevenson and me both!” Megan told him rashly. “I.think you’re taking a very un reasonable attitude, my dear," said her father gently, malice twinkling in his eyes. “After all, having Alicia here will make things much easier for you. She will take over the mangement of the house, while you can give all your .time to your be loved fanning! I think it will be a very good arrangement, all around.” “It’s an impossible arrangement and you know it,” Megan told him hotly.He shrugged ever so slightly and said gently, “Oh, well, if you. are going to take that attitude—” He pretended to lose interest, but Megan knew that he was alert, that he was waiting tensely for her answer. “I know why you are doing this, Father,” she said at last,' one of the lew times in her life calling him “Father” instead of the more en dearing vDad." "You think you will force me to consent to selling the place here—”"But, my dear girl, I thought we’d settled all that,” he pointed out gent ly. “That’s the reason Alicia de cided that she might as well let Matthews see what he could do with th^ sale of her place. When you come to think of it, ‘it would be rather silly to keep both—” “And you wouldn’t consider shar ing her place?” Megan could not stop the words in time, and knew that a frantic hope threaded them. “My dear!” her father protested, hurt. "What do you take me for? A man without pride, or the natural desire to take care of his wife? Most certainly I wouldn’t consider mov ing into Alicia’s place. This one is much larger and’more comfortable and there’s plenty of room. No, I think the whole' arrangement is ideal. You are always so over worked with.the outdoor labor in spring and summer, that I think it will be very nice to have the worry and responsibility of the housekeep ing taken off your shoulders.” “It won’t work, Father,” she told him flatly. There was something in the stealth, the fortiveness of his tread on the stairs— “No?” His tone and smile were tantalizing. "No! I’m not selling! And that’s that!” she told him again, her jaw hard and set, her voice unshaken. She got up suddenly and caught her sweater. The night was mild for winter, yet there was a damp ness and a chill in it that made the sweater, and the scarf about her head very welcome, as she stepped from the back door into the yard. The meadow - was washed with, thin cold moonlight, but under the trees the darkness was so intense that she had to feel her way from, moonlit patch to moonlit patch—un til she'reached the fiat stone be neath the tallest pine; and as she reached it, her heart turned over in her breast, and terror clutched at her, for a shadow moved in the darkness, and she knew that, she was not .alone. The next moment the shadow had moved swiftly into a patch of moonlight, spd she saw, it white on Tom Fallon’s face. "I frightened you—I’m sorry—” Megan managed an unsteady laugh. “And I imagine I frightened you, too,” she answered him. “Well, as a matter of fact, you did,” he admitted. Then as the moonlight touched her white face he added hurriedly, concerned: “Why, what’s happened? You’re ill—” “Oh, no—just—well, upset—and ever since I was a child I have brought my troubles, big and little, to this spot and "tried to find a way out of them! It’s a habit that’s hard to break,” she added with an at tempted gaiety that had an almost macabre quality. “Could—a friend help?” She shook her head. “I—I’m afraid nobody can, really —that is, the only, two people who can have no intention of .doing it. I sound as cbnfused and mixed up as I feel—so if you could just overlook it—" And to Megan’s own horror, and Tom’s shocked surprise, she burst into tears! After a stunned moment, Tom put his arm about her and held her dose as though she were a frightened, bewildered child, and his -soothing words were the words one would have used to a grieving child. “My father is going to marry Alicia Stevenson,” she told him, and so strong was the bond of friendship between them that it did not occur to her to be surprised that A e should confide in him. - She heard him swear under his breath, but after a moment, he tried to offer comfort. "Well, of course I suppose she’s « very attractive woman—and your father is lone ly-*’ “And she is selling her place and coming to live with us,” she went on. “Oh, good Lord, yori can’t live with her—” “Either that, or I have, to' agree to sell the farm, and she and father will live in her house.”“And you don’t want to sell the farm, or go away, from it.” Tom understood that without any words from her. “I’ve gathered since I’ve known you how much the place means to you—” She found it, very soothing, to sit here with him. It was surprising to discover that they knew each oth er well enough for silence to be pleasant and companionable so that speech was unnecessary. Gradually the silence and peace of the moon-silvered pines seemed to drift into her heart; her spirits lifted a little. , Someway, some how, she would find a solution to the problems that .now loomed so terri bly strong and black and evil. Per haps it was only that she was emo tionally exhausted ‘and had reached a place where she was conscious only of a lack of emotion that had replaced her grief. They talked quietly, after that in terval of peace and stillness. She. asked about Martha and he told her that Martha had completely recov ered. She asked hesitantly about Mrs. Fallon, and Tom told her, his mouth taut and tired, that there was no change there. “She’s —completely helpless, of course, and there is.no change mentally,” he added wearily. “You mean—she can’t leave her bed? Can’t get around by herself?” asked Megan, remembering, with a feeling pf chill, the morning when she had sat here and had watched that grotesquely posturing figure on the back lawn. “She hasn’t been out of bed in months and . months,” he told her heavily. “The doctors say that there is a thin chance of her recovery. That’s why we can’t bear to—send her away.. If I had the money to pay for a private sanitarium—’ He shrugged and his hands clenched into hard, tight fists., “But I can’t turn her over tb a state institution. Not. while there is the smallest, faint est, tiniest hope that she can be made well again.” Megan asked 'uneasily, “But shouldn’t she " be having treat ments?” > ' ■“She’s had treatments for the past four years,” Tom answered wearily. "Everything possible has been done, and a few . months ago the doctors told me that the only hope was to get her away somewhere qujet, among new scenes, and just try to build up her physical condition. That might help to restore the lost men tal health, but they couldn’t guaran tee it. She—went to pieces when our son was. born^dead.” Megan said, her voice shaken and ragged with pity, ‘T m so terribly sorry—’’ Unconsciously, she had put out h«r hand to touch him, and as his'hand closed over it and held-it hard for a moment, she heard' trim mutter something—she couldn’t be sure what. They were-still for a little,: and Megan wondered uneasily about his saying that his wife had not been out of- bed in months. She knew that she had seen her, a slim white form, !the sunlight gleaming' gold on her head, dancing a weird, grotesque dance—a dance interrupted by Martha, who had taken the white figure into the house.' Did Tom know, she’wondered?' Did he try to conceal the fact: that, his wife was hot a helplessly bed ridden invalid, in the hope of con vincing people that, while she was a “mental case,”, she was complete ly harmless? Of Ctiiirse1Ke and Martha were doing ..everything, hu manly possible.to<kfe£P anybody in Pleasant. Grove fronj knowing that, his wife wat ra. “meptal case”— ■ She stood' up/ suddenly and said, “I. have to. go-?I . shouldn’t, have come, at all, but M bit is strong.” “I’m glad you did,-*?. Tom told her quietly. “And I hope you., didn’t mind finding me “Of course not. There’s room on the Ridge tor botfe-. of. us-—and who knows? Maybe we’ll , both find solu tions to bur problems -iere,’.’ she. an swered as she. turned'to’ go. “No*,’ you mustn’t come‘ with meJ-M •• “Only to. the fence,”‘'Tom told her. nFrom there on.youhavethe moon-, light clear to your back door and. I can watch until, yoii go. into th* house-and know thaf you’re safe." There was d look In..his face, that made the protest stop On her lips. She nodded and they walked ^to gether to the fence.' When she crossed the meadow- andstoodat the little foot-log that bridged, .the ,small, busy creek, she turned to’look bade and saw him still 'xStandinf there. She threw up ber armsina little gesture that said good night and caught the flicker of his return gesture. And then with her heart considerably lighterthan it had been when she left the 'Iipuse, she went back in and up. the;'stairs to her own' room. • ' Ih- ' ,The,* house wasl.dark and silent. There was no thread of light be neath her father’s door, and she was surprised, when she rxeached her own room ,. to discover';that ehe’d been gone two hours. (TO BE CONTINUUM IMPROVED.'

It was intended'to4 be a’ day of glad fellowship with 'the' Lord. Since the Sabbath — the seventh day — was essentially one of rest and worship, the principles which surrounded it and directed its life may be applied to oia- day of rest, which is the first day of Uie week— the Lord’s day. That word “rest” sounds a little strange in this busy world of ours, and yet it is an important one. It means quiet for the struggling one, calm for the troubled, repose for the weary, cessation of labor for the worn-out one. God in his infinite wisdom saw that without rest man would soon destroy himself, and he made pro vision for one day in seven when labor should cease and man should be free for that recreation of soul and body which should fit him for the labor of the week. I. A Day of Holiness (Exod. 20:8). God gave his people' a holy day to balance np their days of la bor and to bring blessing to their souls. On that day he decreed that they should come apart from their labors, turn from secular interest and turn their hearts and minds to the unseen and the eternal. Man would, become so engrossed in the things of this world that he would soon forget; therefore, God com mands him to stop and worship. That should be sufficient to cause his people to “remember” the day “to keep it holy.” Notice that the day of rest was to be not only for the family,- but also for servants and for. visitors. The employer who unnecessarily operates his factory .or office on Sun day violates this commandment. Note also that the man who is to rest on the seventh day is supposed to work on the six days. Some neglect to do both. This matter of keeping the Lord’s day holy is one which has tremen dous implications in the lives of our children. Many men and women who. have had built into their own characters the stalwart virtues nur tured by family attendance at di vine worship have not only forgotten their own continuing need, but are destroying the interest of their chil dren in church attendance. It is serious enough to. go ,astray In one’s own life, but to lead one’s children astray is’ an appalling re-, sponsibility. Let’s keep the. Lord's day as a holy day. : n . A Day of Helpfulness (Mark 2:23-28). ' The formalists of Christ’s day, the Pharisees, had overlooked the heart of Gfod’s law .and the Jioly living which it was intended to produce,, and had bound up .even the observ ance of the sabbath (which was in-' tended tb be a day of rest and gladness) in such a mass of technical “thou shalt not’s” that it was a May of fear. The accusations against the disciples because they' had taken and eaten grain, was not on the ground that they had stolen, for Uie law (Deiit. 23:25) guaranteed that'right to the one who passed through his neighbor’s field. The Pharisees con tended, however; that the disciples, had worked on the Sabbath in pick ing and hulling the grain. h God’s laws-are helpful laws, and jt is only when men pervert them, or add to them their own traditions and interpretations, that they be come burdensome to anyone who is God-fearing and obedient. ; ■ In . A Day of Healing (Matt. 12: 9-13). ; ;>• Jesus made it dear that healing Of the body (yes, and of the soul) was most appropriate on the Sab- bath day; in fact, that is the very Say for it. The healing of the man with the, withered, arm revealed that back of the Pharisees’ ,professed concern fbr’ the Sabbath was a real hatred for Christ. It is an appalling-thing that- in; the/house' of 'worship on the very -Sabbath j day,: 'these men;- outwardly ,so. religious,, were plot- ting against our Lord,... • , ; . .V/.

Woman's World Protection, Comfort Important: In Infant or Toddler Garments £ r t t a * J £ a $ eeV TX/HEN we think of clothes for VV habiebabies, most at us make the mistake of clothing them, at least In our thoughts, with ruffles and bil lowy dresses. Actually, though, the most important considerations in making baby’s clothes sensible are comfort, protection, room for rapid growth and room for plenty of movement. So, .when you plan a layette, or do some sewing for a friend with a baby, don’t get too sentimental. The gift-type garment may bring most Ahs and Ohs from friends, but the mother will appreciate sim plicity and ease of placing the gar ment on the baby most of all, and this should be your main aim. It certainly will be your main theme if you’ve ever tried to dress a squirming, wriggling youngster.The garments you’ll want to avoid are those with tiny collars that wrinkle and crush easily, garments that have to be slipped over the head, and tight, gathered sleeves. Whenever you can, make clothing for baby with wide, raglgn sleeves because these slip on so easily. Show a definite preference for garments that open and close in front, particularly nightgowns and the like that can be folded over and tied. _ Fabrics may be just a little diffi cult to find, but remember to choose those that are soft and fine: batiste, soft muslin, voile, extra-soft flannel and crepe. The seams may be French fell, flat hand-rolled or bound. Special Care Needed For Toddler’s Clothes Have you ever watched a baby learning to crawl or reach? Notice this tire next opportunity you have and see how much leeway the gar ment has to have to accommodate all this activity. The sleeves should be loose and free so as not to put any strain on the youngster. The little seat of the pants comes in for its share of the strain too. Little rompers or panties for the baby at the creeping stage need extra full ness at the bad:, and should be shorter in the front because of the positions they get themselves into. Because toddler’s garments come in for their share of buttoning and If you’re sewing for baby. . . . unbuttoning, you will want to make these as secure as possible. Top tips which you will want to follow for sewing on buttons are these: first, use only a single thread; sec ond, do not make the mistake of sewing on the buttons too tight. There is pull and strain on the but ton that easily gives way if it hugs the garment too tightly. Save the Sentiment, Lean Toward Practical AU mothers want their youngsters to have lovely pastel coats of soft wool with silk linings. This is a nice sentimental gesture, but actually this type of coat is more practical if made with flannel or challis that is unlined. Then the coat is more easily made, simply washed and more durable. Another good idea is to spend time making rompers in several sizes for the toddler: Boys, of course, use-rompers as soon as they begin to crawl, but it isn’t such a bad idea to make rompers for little Mo fee them sensible and practical. girls, too. Dresses may be lovelier, but if you will notice, they easily get in the baby’s way, and she may trip and fall more often than nec essary. Dress' the Child as if she Figure-Hugging TAis tinstone wool suit from Cunth sports a figure-hugging jacket and turn back collar and cuffs. The blouse Is matching African marigold rayon crepe and the belt is ginger pigskin. The halo hat is made of straw, banded in velvet. were an active youngster instead of just a pretty doU, and the baby will be mqch better off. Always make little girl’s dresses with large hems. Then as the child grows, the hems can be let out'and more wear achieved from the gar ment. A little girl’s dress should have an opening sufficiently large around the neck to permit easy getting in and out. Only one button is used for this opening. Very large or small buttons or snaps and. hooks are considered poor choice for youngster’s gar ments. Child authorities say that it is easy for the child learning to dress to use the medium-sized flat button, but he is lost with the out size or small size. Teach him self reliance by making it easy for him to dress himself. For boys* one-piece garments, use a drop seat controlled by a belt. This is easy for the boy to manage even at an early age and looks nedt.. The drop seat can' have an elastic run through a casing so that it snaps back into place easily after being stretched. Laundering Tipi Study the directions that come with your garments when’ you wash them. It's no longer true that everything must be washed in the hottest water possible. Sort clothing so that all sim ilar colors are washed at one time with light clothes first. . Bluing follows the final rinse, and is usually given to all white clothes to prevent them from turning yellowish after age. Stiarching follows the bluing proc ess, but in many cases these two are combined when you use a ready-made starch that has the bluing already added to it. This mixture is ready to use and is just diluted as directed. Select a ready-made starch that is smooth, otherwise you will have difficulty mixing it with the wa ter. / ' Clothes should be properly hung to save ironipg time. A gar ment hung on the “off grain” .will not. iron well and will not Set properly when worn. Hang dresses by the skirts or at Ibe shoulder seams; hang socks by the top so as not to put unnec essary’wear on the foot. etc. Ircai rayons and synthetic fab rics according to instructions that come with them. Vour beat ing guide on the iron will be. an invaluable aid in applying the correct amount of heat to each type of fabric. Summer Fashion Notes For beach and sports wear, these are the fabrics found most suit able: shantung, calico and chintz. Select them in their brightest, gay- . est colors. .Brown and white-spectator sports dresses will, I think, always be popular -during the summer. When they match-shoes and bags they give the impression of neatness and trim. You’ll find few sleeves on dresses for sportswear of this type, the-idea being that you want as mucb: sun as you can get, and also, np sleeves will offer more freedom for playing. Felts are scheduled to be made in a tempting array of colors, , and you’ll find many of them made for easy traveling because a Idg boost in this department is expected in the coming months. EDITOR’S NOTEt -This newspaper, through special arrangement with the ErOdsington Bureau of Western News paper Union at 1616 Eye Street, N. IF, Washingtoni D. is abb to bring readers this weekly column on problems of the veteran end serviceman and his family. Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they will be answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which will appear in this newo paper regularly. Books Aotulable for Vets More than a million text books ac quired from the War Assets admin istration will be distributed by the Library of Congress to accredited colleges and universities for use of veteran - students, Veterans'. admin istration has announced. Veterans’ ad m in istratio n has transferred to the library sufficient funds to cover the cost of handling- and mailing the books which were formerly used by the army and navy college training programs. It is es timated that the surplus books will save the Veterans’ administration approximately $3,000,000 in its vet erans’ school program and is expect ed to relieve somewhat the serious text-book shortage. Kach school will set up its own distribution system to assure that only veterans will obtain the books after requisitioning the books they need from lists supplied by the Library of Congress. Questions and Answers Q. Our son who was almost our sole support served 30 months in the armed, services. He was in the service for 18 months before we re ceived an allotment. Is there any way we can get this allotment for the first 18 months he was in the service? We were as much depend ent then as we were when the'al lotment was granted. — Header, Staples, Mich. A. It would depend upon when your son made request for an allot ment. If he made no request and the money was not deducted from his pay, then there is no chance to get it. If he made the request, the money was deducted and for some reason you did not receive it, you can collect it. Suggest you write your son and ask when he made his request for the allotment. Q. My son has been In service since January, 1945. He has been overseas since August, 1945.-1 need him at home to help see after his father as he is not able to work. We are farmers. When will he be eligi ble for discharge? He was an 18- year-old draftee.—L. Me., Seotts- boro, Ala. A. Voiir son apparently has only about 9 points as of September 2, 1945, so unless for some reason he is discharged sooner I would guess he will have at least another year to serve under present -regulations. If you can prove dependency or, hardship which has occurred since he entered service, it may be that he ' could be discharged for these reasons. However, he must ask for that discharge from his command ing officer. R- My son was discharged in Oc tober after 30 months in service. He was a flight officer in the air corps and has his battle stars, oak leaf duster) etc. Now he would like to get into the Reserves. Ho they ac cept flight officers? What win be tbe best way to go about getting In? —Mrs. M. F. O., Denver, Colo. A. At the moment, the answer is that flight officers are not accept able, but by the time you Tead this the army may have issued new reg ulations providing for acceptance, of flight officers into Ihe- reserve. The matter is pending now with the authorities. Suggest you. keep in touch with your local ariny head, quarters. Q. My son recently-enlisted for three years In the army. There are three of us in the family, the son, myself and mother. There are no brothers or sisters. We are very much alone: and my son is the sole support. We are both afflicted with angina pectoris. Is there any one to whom we can appeal not to send B tfrSOh across for overseas' duty? My reason is that if either of us should expire, the remaining one would heed "my son home to care for her. If death takes one of us, could he get a discharge to come home and care for the other one?— ,Mrs., W. T. B,Brookhaven, Miss. Al In toe first place, the son was not forced to enlist for three years, and he can provide- family allot ment for you if' he wishes.;, If he wishes to obtain , a discharge using his family as a hardship case, he should take it up with his command ing officer. There is.no,one to whom you can appeal aboiit the overseas exemption since he cannot be half in and half-out of the army. . Q. I am a veteran whose total service was spent .hi the navy’s V-12 program. Am I entitled to more education under tbe G J. BiH oil Eights?—J.C.K., BOdwood, Ark. A. The VA-has- ruled' that a veV eras whose' total period of service in the armed forces was spent in ASTP or in V-12, the navy college training program, studying medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine' or theology is not entitled to any further education benefits under the G.L BiU.. The VA will rule upon the eligibility of other cases which home under V-12 headings. m S e Potatoes are plentiful in supply uid will spoil it you don’t use them. Use them in place of scarce wheat products as tbe starchy food for dinner, as stuffing or even in baking. W heatIess M eals If you want to have fun, and at the same time, test your ingenuity, do what some of the public eating places are doing during the wheat shortage: Qn one day of the week, serve completely wheat-free meals. Vou may even learn to like it so well, that you can stretch this) to two days of the week and thereby help feed the famine-stricken coun tries. Why not try it? What are some of the foods to use in place of bread and flour? Here is a partial list to help you: pota toes, corn and commeal, com cere als, hominy, oatmeal, rice and other wheat-free cereals. Vou might start off breakfast with commeal muffins or potato pan cakes in place of the customary rolls, coffee-cake or toast. Use po tatoes plentifully for both luncheon and dinner, and if you want bread, make some oatmeal gems, 100 per cent rye bread, or com sticks. The family will appreciate them as a welcome change. Non-wheat cereals like commeal and oatmeal can be used for stuff ing and crumbing in place of bread or flour. Only in a very few cases will you be able to tell the differ ence, and even if you can, you won’t find that difference unpleasant Now-that the vegetable and fruit season is here in earnest, fill the family on salads and fruity des serts. Everyone yearns for in-sea son produce anil large quanti ties of fruits and vegetables will spell both health and pleasant eat ing to the family. Look over these recipes which I’ve dished up for you today. Per haps . they will start you thinking about how you can help in serving some wheat-free meals every week and still give the family complete satisfaction at the dining table. •Potato Cups Witii Tuna Fish.

Apricots, cherries, peaches, raspberries, pears, straw berries usually lack either or both acid and pectin, but make excellent felly when combined with an equal •mount of tart apple jelly juice or with commercial pectin/ If pec tin is used, the instructions supplied with it must be followed. It is a good plan to can unsweet ened fruit juice and make it into jelly as needed, because freshly made jelly has a much better flavor than Qiat which has stood several months. We are indebted to Gladys Kim brough, Home Service Director, for Ball Brothers Company, manufactur er of fruit jars, for a few notes which should be helpful to th6se who have not already mastered the art of making jelly or superior quality. JELLX NOTES For natural jelly “like mother used to make,” use fruits which un der normal conditions contain enough pectin and acid to yield a good jelly. For unusual jellies, combine the juices of such fruit as red cherries, strawberries, or apricots with an equal amount of apple juice or with • good commercial pectin. Fruit should be hard-ripe for jelly making. Uhder-ripe fruit lacks fla vor, that which is “cream and sug- rlpe won’t jell; however, some ergons prefer to use half under ripe and half fully ripe fruit. Cook fruits until> soft but not I mushy to extract the juice. Cook- S Ing is necessary in order to extract I Sle PectiP from the pulp. Cut apples ■' insm all pieces, skin, core and all. Cr^ali; u ^jll fruits before cooking. B*emre'^rapes from stems and ?*P9: fitfcfciberrles to prevent off- t i e amount of water to add to tndts for cooking varies/ Apples NfluiM e&ough to cover. Most juicy fruits need:>Just; enough to prevent •ticking; however, a few, cranber ries, fcr. example, require more. If you have no jelly stand and tag. tie two thicknesses of cheese Cloth ever the top of a deep enamel- war* kettle of -a clean dish pan. Pour the hot fruit on Uie cloth and let drip free of juice. (The fruit from which the juice \ has drained may be put through a colander and used for making butter or jam.) Don’t make the mistake of using too much sugar. The general rule Is three cups to one quart of juice, but currants and green gooseberries usually work out better, if three and a half to four cups of sugar are to each quart of juice. Cane and beet sugar are equally satisfactory for making jelly. . One-fourth of the granulated sug ar called for in a recipe may be replaced with com sirup. . S ugarcrystalsarelikdytofbnn in jeDy if: (I) it is cooked too long, (2) too much sugar is used, (3) there is not enough add ln the juice, (4) it is left standing unsealed. The needle shape crystals in grape jelly are caused by the tar taric acid in the grapes. These crystals seldom form in jelly made from unsweetened canned juice. Canned juice should be strained be* fore using. Jelly made from fresh grape juice is less likely to contain crystals if the juice is left in the re frigerator for 24 hours before us ing. Itshouldbestrainedtorem ove any crystals which may form in it Gummy jeUy is usually caused by overcooking or Iqr long slow cooking. Jdly may be cloudy if: (I) the juice is not carefully strained, <2) under-ripe fruit is used, (3) allowed to cool too much before pouring into passes, (4) sauce pan is held high above the glass when the jelly is poured (this traps in air bubbles). Jdlies may “weep" if: (I) not cooked enough, (2 ) glasses are filled too full, (3) glass not dean above Ihe paraffin, (4) paraffin more than one-eighth inch thick or does not touch sides of glasses. . Use regular jelly glasses as they are the right size and shape. Boil jelly glasses 20 minutes to sterilize—then drain dry. Cook jelly rapidly and in small f atches, not more than two quarts at a time. , JeDy must be cooked to the Aniah point That’s when it sheets from a metal spoon. This happens when instead of leaving the side of a tilt ed spoon in a stream, the last of the sirup divides, into two large drops which meet and then slide off the spoon together. Leave at least one-fourth inch space at file top when filling jelly glasses. Do hot spill or splash jelly on the inside rbn of the glass. U se a s te riliz e d spoon to re m ove bu bbles o r scum fro m JeUy b e fo re i t is cove red v tfth m e lte d p a ra ffin . When covering with melted paraf fin, turn the jelly glass in the hand So that the paraffin wOl touch the sides of the glass all the way around. Kever ,use paraffin more than once. Cover jelly with metal lids and store in a dry place. Dampness causes spoilage. Haphazard methods yield haphaz ard results whereas following reli able instructions; gives reliable results in form of excellent jeUy.

But' here are two choice recipes you may like. Hiey were given us by Gladys Kim brough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company and editor ot that famous Blue Book of lunne canning and preserving recipes. Chili Sauce 1 gallon tomatoes 2 cups onion 2 cups sweet red pepper I pod hot red pepper I cup sugar 8 tablespoons salt I tablespoon mustard seed I tablespoon celery seed 9 tablespoons mixed spices 2tt cups vinegar SMn tomatoes before chopping.

Superior Food Is Youw by Following Rules Ior Quality Canning —Pioto Courtesy Sstt Bros, Co, A s k te n w o m e n w h y th e y p u t u p fr u its , v e g e ta b le s , ja m s , p re s e rv e s , 'e tc ., a n d y o u m a y g e t te n d iffe re n t a n s w e rs b u t th e y a ll a d d u p to e c o n o m y a n d fla v o r. A t present, high living costs are forcing m any_persons, par ticularly m em bers of the so-called w hite-collar class, to accept m erchandise of inferior quality or do w ithout, but alm ost every body can have vegetables of superior quality and flavor for there can always be gardens, and fortun-®- ately, glass jars for home canning' are pre-war ’quality at pre-war prices. » Canned foods should be seasoned, Savored, or sweetened to suit the taste of one’s family. If you like corn and beans, corn and tomatoes, tomatoes and okra, cooked together, can them together — but keep in mind that a mixture must be pro cessed the time needed for the vege table requiring th longest time. Own a Canning Book "But,” warns Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company, manufacturer Of1 home canning jars, . "whatever you do by way of seasoning, be sure to follow the rules when canning. Every homemaker should own a good canning and preserving book.”Buy whatever new jars, caps, lids, and rubbers needed. Use reg ular home canning jars and beware of any which haven’t the name of a reliable manufacturer on them. Examine every jar, cap, and lid be fore it is used and use according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure pressure cooker and water-bath canners art in perfect order. Use strictly fresh produce and use it the day it is mature enough to cook for immediate serv ing. Discard tough, withered, rusty, wormy vegetables. Wash all prod uce before breaking or cutting and wash only enough for one canner load at a time. Don’t Lose Time Waste no time between steps In gathering, sorting, washing, prepar ing, and canning. •Cover, prepared vegetables with boiling water and boil five minutes (some vegetables, .for example, beets and sweet potatoes, require longer). Pour hot vegetables into dean hot jars. Don’t cram them down. There must be room for wa ter to circulate between the pieces and there should be from % to I inch space between the vegetables and the top of the jar. Cover vegetables, after placing in jars, with water in which they were boiled or use fresh boiling water. Use clean salt, add it before or after the jars are filled, or leave it out It is put,in for seasoning only. If air bubbles form, run a knife down between side of jar and food. Put the jars in a hot canner as soon as they are filled. Letting them stand around on the kitchen table in vites spoilage. Process all vegetables except to matoes, which are really a fruit, In a stetim pressure cooker for the time given in the recipe you are following. We recommend the use of a pressure cooker because, when in good working order and used ac cording to instructions, it is by far the quickest and best way to can all low-acid vegetables such as beans, beets, peas, corn, etc. Boil ing for a long time in a water-bath canner is the next best way and is the one' commonly used in the North Coitral and Eastern states. Water- bath processed vegetables (does not mean tomatoes—they are acid and should be done in water bath) should never under any circum stances be tasted until after they have been boiled IS minutes. The same is true of those processed in a steam pressure cooker when there is the slightest question as to wheth er the cooker was in good operat ing condition or was operated cor rector. Tlie purpose of boil-before- tasting is to destroy any toxin'which niay have developed. The'toxin won’t be there to destroy if fresh produce has been carefully washed, prepared, packed, and properly processed.
